Jean demonstrates her method for producing a custom mannikin using the carcass casting method. In this video, Jean is using a stillborn baby aoudad, but this method will work for any other small mammal. Beginning with a skinned carcass, Jean describes how to first determine the desired pose, and then proceeds with the steps required for creating a plaster mold. Note: This method is for a ONE-TIME use mold.
