Finger Casting

I have also completed the plaster finger casts to stuff the turkey with. I used mine and Oli's hands, holding them in cups of alginate for about 5 minutes, until it formed a solid around our hands and we could slowly pull them out. I then filled the finger holes with plaster and removed once dried. I have about 20 fingers which should be ok, because you wont be able to see most of them as I plan to fix them inside the turkey using red wax, with a few of them creeping out of the opening on the turkeys back.

I wanted the fingers to look as if they were trying to escape and had been in positions of anguish or struggle when they were removed so I made sure we bend our fingers and made them pretty rigid when casting them.
