Once you have your frame. Your ready to start making the clay chambers on the glass. In my project I had a particular species in mind that is quite small - 1/4" or less for workers. Queens less than 3/8". I also wanted to use roughly circular chambers to hopefully improve focus on indycam when up very close (edges are out of focus because of different distance from lense when flat). So I chose to use a round measuring spoon, some plastic (to make removal of clay from spoon easier), and the knife to cut the top of the clay off. Then these pieces are arranged on the glass in whatever pattern you wish to have for the chambers in your plaster/gypsum mold after it hardens. Remember the chambers the ants will live in will be created by the clay you are now putting on the glass. |
