Ever see those rubber black mats and covers in cars? all those weird textures and shapes?





Pour some plaster and have some fun.



The almond bumpy forms at the bottom are from a car seat cover I found in the street.(I washed it!)



I'm keen on finding new forms of mould. Big leaves. Chocolate box plastic innards(they do tend to create edible looking results so watch out). I thought I invented using tin foil to make rock moulds but alas no...

That honeycombe-esque one in the middle could look good as a something for nids.

Some of those block shapes on the right of the pic would make good concrete walls or barricades. Produce enough and you could build any kind of building you wanted.

The honeycomb effect was created using that art medium for kids that involves gluing coloured balls together into a shape.(pictured below)

and another great effect comes from simply applying plaster to polystyrene. Nice stucco effect.
