Quick and Dirty Silicone Molds
Darcy Wilkinson of "Art and Sole" brings us a handy tutorial on using silicone caulk, cornstarch, and hot glue for molding and casting. Her tutorial focuses on reproducing scrapbooking embellishments, but it's equally applicable to any kind of small detail piece. The minimal materials make it ideal for anyone operating on a shoestring budget.

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Carter Edition.
Zombie Carter is providing a running commentary on his build up of a new Cthulhu idol. The third installment focuses on his approach to detailing the base.
So far I’ve just got the two sides of the idols base completed. You’ll notice the upper picture is kind of shiny. I haven’t cooked it yet to harden it. You’ve got to cook the Kato clay at 300 degrees for about a half hour to harden the clay. This is after I smoothed the details with a fine brush and turpentine to knock back my tool marks.

The Peruvian Stigmas
"Highbury Cemetary" brings us these wonderful deformed skulls collected from a Peruvian burial site. Considering they're made with expanding foam and a cheap Halloween skull as a mold the results are all out of proportion to the effort required. The site includes a detailed writeup of their creation.
