Unfortunately, I had other things to get to this weekend, but the very cold weather gave me an excuse to stay inside the house and try to pull off some molds from the deteriorating "fruits". Great success. I first poured two silicone rubber molds from (2) of the globes. Just in case they didn't work, I poured some Alginate molds of two others. I then pulled (4) plaster castings off the Alginate right away, since they will start to break down themselves.
The photo at the top is a detail view of one of the plaster castings (I also cast beeswax as an experiment). The next one down is a top view prior to pouring the Alginate, showing the breakdown of mother nature quite clearly. The final is the bag of globes that I'm working from. The orange and honey smell from the "materials" is a nice by-product.
