Rock Lobster

I've decided to cast a bronze lobster for the second "Casting and Carving" project. Last night I purchased a loster, released his claws of restriction to give him a fair chance of defense and then boiled him alive while in the sculpture building. His name: Roger. Simultaneously, one of my pet hermit crabs died that night. I had received a pair as a Christmas present, despite the unfavorably cold temperature of my dwellings and my disinterested in keeping up the maintainence of these unaffectionate pets. I believe I will be casting both, the lobster done in bronze and the hermit crab cast in alluminum. I would later replace the hermit crab back in its shell. To complete the lobster i must first make some sort of rubber mold. For the hermit crab i was thinking of possibly purchasing others for the purposes of casting, perhaps dead ones from a pet store to remain slightly humane. Then i could create a habitat of bronze and or alluminum hermit crabs. Here are pictures of "The Boys" when they were both living...
