Lobster Crown Moulding Update


A while back, I wrote about some plastic lobster medallions I was casting for an architects personal residence in Maine.
150 lobsters and a little more than a year later, they're up!
Installed by Mac Patterson himself (of Austin, Patterson, Disston).
Mac and the painter are so happy with the results, that they're planning on featuring the crown moulding in more rooms of the house.
Ahh...the fruits of labor are lobster flavored.

Lobster Crown Moulding




I was commissioned to create one-of-a-kind crown moulding for an architect's personal home in Maine. I was given a lobster tin that was purchased at a roadside shop in Rhode Island. The architect had the idea to duplicate the lobster to make a decorative pattern around the ceiling of his new home. I was given the tin to make millable and paintable pieces to adorn the crown moulding. Click on the lobster for a step by step presentation detailing the project thus far.
