Surface design material experimentation.

These six tiles are a form I developed originally out of clay. A laytex mold was then created to cast various materials. This picture shows one plaster, one concrete and four sugar molds. The four sugar molds consist of two that are just plain sugar and egg white, one that is sugar and water, and one that is sugar and food coloring. The egg white mold was the strongest, followed by the water mix. The food coloring mix was really weak and brittle. Each piece was baked at 200 degrees to ensure strength, but the food coloring was not a good medium to hold the sugar together.
