Batman and catwoman wedding figures

Here are some examples of legs and feet sculpted whilst working for Dorset Orthopaedics.  The colours for each prosthesis are mixed by hand to match the patients skin tones and sculpted in a silicone clay.  The foot is made as a mirror image of their remaining appendage, or chosen from a library of foot casts in bi-lateral cases.

Sculpted in Supersculpey, cast in silicone and moulded in Fastcast resin.

Wrist supports reinforced with pre-preg carbon fibre blades to restrict movement.  Velcro fastenings built into the silicone or leather straps with poppers for easy cleaning. Silicone devices can be sterilised in boiling water.

I inadvertently created quite a stir in the Norwegian media in February 2012.  One of the severed fingers that I made in my last week at Dorset Orthopaedics was borrowed for a youth club halloween party and went missing… only to turn up in the snow on a busy Oslo street. The police closed off two streets incase there was a body accompanying the finger and collected it in a ice box.  It took the police forensics three hours to find out that it was a fake. I´ll take that as a compliment.  They would’t let me keep the evidence bag.

Hanne and I have been sculpting wedding cake figures for friends since our own wedding when we made our figures in a mad rush in the last few days amid chaotic planning and preparations.  Get in touch if you would like a tiny version of yourself.
