Sculpture snafu in my studio

Today I was getting ready to finally cast a sculpture I've been working on for the past couple of weeks, and I accidentally broke the mother mold. (This is the mold that goes outside the latex mold to enable it to keep its shape when the hydrostone is poured in, till it sets.) So now I have to make a new mother mold, which sets the sculpture back yet another couple of days. I started to make the new one today, but ran out of materials and have to go out and get them tomorrow to be able to finish.

I wonder if Rodin had days like this...

The good news, I got some concrete materials today to make a couple of outdoor pieces. Those will have to wait. Hopefully later in the week I can post pics of the new sculpture, if I don't run into any more snafus!
