…. Went a little crazy moldmaking this weekend with Brian, trying to find the perfect configuration so that we wouldn’t have balls with weird air bubbles/birthmarks/weakspots. We devised a super crazy suspension scheme to do this, but after a few misfires, decided that the best method was to let the silicone sit in two halfs of the mothermold for a few minutes BEFORE submerging the mini-mold into one of the halves, then plopping the top part onto the bottom swiftly and holding that sucker in place until the silicone became too dry to shift (about 10 mins). It took a lot of attention and meticulous effort but this ball came out looking like none other (more pics later). For the meantime, though, check out this hilarious company of potential balls. I feel like Tyra Banks at a casting call…. nice.
