I am going through decades of Papers, unearthing unrecorded history such as these old notes written by my Dad as he was developing the concept of Andersen Design"

Sometime in the early 1950s these handwritten instructions were made to tell how to preserve designs for ceramic art by creating original, master, and production molds- 

This is what it says:

As insurance that we can preserve the designs

If we could do these molds in polyurethane

Instead of Wax it would be better.

Then in any case, make production molds

Dolphin has only minor challenges in the mouth and eyes

Seagull extensively reworked, may have to set up from scratch

Enclosed are three models that have been very carefully reworked

To provide new masters for these important pieces.

Be accurate as possible with Parting lines

The way I want to proceed is to make the original mold slip cast for trial pieces.

For each, which we will finish to be sure they are OK, then cast to perfect wax models from each.

One set of wax models will be set aside.

Details like beaks and tails very soft, handle with care.
 

He must have been talking about the Floating Gull, the first wildlife sculpture produced by Andersen Design
