It is saferto model this inplasteline, overthe plaster, ratherthan on a plaste-line squeeze, as described later, if at all possible, becausethe hard plaster prevents one making the possible error ofgoing too deep in modeling a hollow. Where a missing eyehas to be reproduced, another process is necessary at thisstage. 6. A piece mold must be made from the cast (4). It isprepared with French chalk, and (6 A) a plasteline squeezemade. The sculptor then opens the eye by modeling it from.
