Recently, Jake and I, in an attempt to begin the construction of our seat, created our first batch of clay. It turned out to be very malleable and it held the shape of our hands very well. It felt a lot like silly putty and now we're on to making more.

Jake and I have ordered everything to create our sled. We decided to use corn starch clay to make a mold of one of our posteriors and then smooth out the indentation to make the seat have a more general fit, allowing other people to use it comfortably. Our mold will be made out of corn starch, baking soda, and water. Once we have our mold we are then planning on filling it with instant dry plaster, which will create a more durable mold that we will be able to vacuum form around. Once this is accomplished we'll have our functioning seat!
