pegs + latex

i wanted to fix the pegs permanently with each other, create a sort of panel, or a tile, where pegs are embedded into another structure. decided to pour some latex into the box.
once dry, its milky colour disappears to reveal amber-translucent view of the surface beneath it.
it allows for creating flexible but rigid structures.




it took ages to dry - eventhough i left it on a warm heated floor, it was at least 3 days before i could take it out of the box



i have tried painting some old fabric with latex - it gives a nice outcome. it is very rigid, probably waterproof and you can make it thicker by using thick fabric + leaving the latex to dry for couple of hrs before applying it (it thickens). i think i'm going to use it to make my camera-skin.
