In my second year I was given a demonstration on how to cast using silicone.

It was a fairly easy process to follow and as my heads are very simple I don't think I'll have much trouble casting them.
I have also looked at the website Instructables, to see if it had any further methods on making my moulds.
I found this step by step guide helpful: http://www.instructables.com/id/Two-Part-Silicone-Casting/
The person who made these instructions has also made a FAQ section which answers a fair few questions that other people have put up with the problems they have come across so I will find that helpful if I come across any problems when I start to cast my heads.
There's a blog called Skin & Bones on blogger created by puppet fabricator Graham Read. He has put up the step by step process of making the replacement heads for Nev Bezaire's project "Foxes".
The first post shows how the heads were made: http://graham-skinnbones.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/ball-socket-replacement-mouths.html
The second post is of the silicone over the top of those heads: http://graham-skinnbones.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/ball-socket-replacement-mouths-for-stop.html
