First casts! Showing my inexperience, but a great learning opportunity. The concrete looks awesome, it's definitely the right material. But I a) mixed the concrete too wet, b) didn't vibrate out the air bubbles enough, c) didn't let it cure long enough before demolding, and d) was way too aggressive with the demolding. I could probably also stand to reinforce it even more than the fibres in the concrete do. These are the things you think about after, when in the moment you're more focused on engaging and monitoring your five-year-old who is eager to help!
Molds turned out great! Did a quick concrete test pour earlier. Wasn't quite set up when I checked this evening, so I'll give it overnight before I poke at it again.

This is what they look like with the silicone poured. I'm really hoping it cures okay! Would love for this to just work out.

Been a while since I updated on this project! I printed a couple of small-scale tests of both leaves, indulged in a quick lighting test (since I hadn't seen the one on the right in real life yet), and then poured a couple of silicone molds. With a little luck, they'll cure okay and I can do my first test pour of concrete tomorrow.

As someone who admittedly spends too much time looking at Craigslist, I can report that the past year has seen a dramatic rise in the usage of the word "brutalist" to refer to stuff that's just generally ugly.

Ammetto che faccio sempre un po' fatica a seguire i podcast, riesco a stare molto più concentrata nella lettura attiva, ma ogni tanto si trovano delle chicche davvero interessanti!
Segnalo questa bellissima serie (per gli appassionati o curiosi del genere):

The Muthu Glasgow River Hotel overlooking the Clyde. It currently looks more abandoned and on the way to ruin than in the process of being renovated, although there were more cars on the car park than the small signs of building work near the lobby might suggest. #Concretopia #Brutalism #Architecture #Glasgow
Anyone got any good #brutalist architecture they'd like to share?

In "Ukrainian Modernism," Kyiv-based photographer and researcher Dmytro Soloviov’s first book, the nation’s under-recognized mid-20th-century built heritage takes center stage.
