I have been meeting with several members of the trans-gender community in my city. A major issue is that many of the silicone penises currently on the market don’t have the ability to be bent and able to maintain their shape for packing or sex play. I have started work on developing silicone castings with a bendable embedded metal matrix. My first test was successful.
Prototype silicone finger with embedded stainless steel matrix
As you can observe, the finger ain’t pretty, but it is just a proof of concept. It is firm but flexible. It can be easily bent, stays put, and proves that the concept is sound. I made another master mould of another finger so I can cast other prototypes and test various rubber formulas . I’m hoping that these fingers will test well so I can successfully “ramp up” to make the ultimate in custom made silicone penises. Time will tell. If you have any questions, comments, or would like to model for me, please send me a message.

A pretty young woman from Estonia named Kerly came to me in November 2009. She wanted something distinctive as a memento of her stay in Philadelphia. I sat her down in the studio and made a silicone mould of her lower face. I(n this first photo you can see me applying the first layer which becomes the face of the master mould.
Applying the first layer of RTV Silicone to the model.
Next step is to complete the first layer and add some gauze as the rubber sets up. Two more coats will follow in quick succession.
First layer applied, waiting to embed gauze and continue the next layer.
When the master mould is completed I remove it from Kerly and can now begin the casting process. Here is the completed mould and the first casting in hard urethane.
Master Mould and urethane casting ready for finishing.
I made several more castings in urethane and finished them in a combination of aluminum powder and automotive clear urethane. This combination allows the casting and finish to chemically bond. The final finish is quite hard and durable and in this instance, looks like metal. Shine can be controlled by modifying the mixture of the clear coat.
Finished Buckle in hard urethane with aluminum finish.
Here is the model and the finished buckle in the studio. I am told that it has been very well received back in Estonia.

I have been pouring urethane castings for a client in the studio. In the meanwhile, I have been pouring the excess into some of my penis and dickhead moulds. I have a few people in the area that want some very different looking cuffs and bracelets in a black minimal style that’s sort of Goth. I have four double headed penis cuffs and about ten dickheads ready to go in a glossy black finish. I am going to link the individual dickheads “Prince Albert” style with either silver or black jump rings….. or try something a bit different and link them up in alternate directions….or maybe I’ll make a necklace from them.

Detail of casting
Here is the urethane casting and the master mould side by side. You can see the silicone rubber has captured the detail of her foot exactly and the urethane has flowed into each and every part of the mould.

Here’s the finished RTV silicone mould of Em’s foot. I used a silver aluminium powder to line the mould. When I poured the liquid urethane into the moulds and slip casted it, it automatically bonded to the powder and made it a permanent part of the surface.

So my friend Em came over to dinner. There was an alternate reason why besides a good meal: I was going to make a silicone mould of her foot. Em has a foot “thang”. You can rent her out if you would like to worship her feet and legs. If you can’t get to her, or if you just can’t get enough of her cute feet and toes, i can cast up an exact copy of her foot or toes for you in silicone rubber or hard urethane in almost any finish you like. If you might be interested in meeting Em or to view her website, just ping me.

I am now continuing my editing and refining of images in my Galleries. I will eventually add images of everything I have made over the past several years. I have some wild new concepts for bracelets and cuffs using moulds taken from the lower back and butt. Sounds weird, but I think the shape and contours from this part of the body might be conducive to a cuff/bracelet design.
