That’s a beautiful vision—poised, peaceful, and full of grace. 😇 Let’s shape this angelic figure with thoughtful mold planning to preserve that serene expression and flowing gesture.

## 👼 Mold Plan for “Loving Angel Looking Down”

### 🕊️ Pose Overview:
- **Face**: Gentle smile with eyes cast downward—soft, introspective.
- **Arms**: Extended slightly forward in a welcoming or blessing gesture.
- **Wings**: Half-open, flowing outward from the shoulders.
- **Torso**: Slight forward lean to suggest it's suspended or hovering.
- **Base**: Optional cloud pedestal or robed feet to help with mold stability.

## 🧩 Multipart Mold Breakdown

| Mold Section       | Covers                              | Notes                                         |
|-------------------|--------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
| **Front Mold Half** | Face, chest, arms, front of robe     | Needs venting around fingertips or elbows      |
| **Back Mold Half**  | Wings, back, drape of robe           | Vents near wing tips, where curves trap air    |
| **Top Cap**         | Crown of head, optional halo         | Makes demolding facial detail easier           |
| **Base Segment**    | Feet or lower robe on cloud base     | Optional—useful for mounting and weight        |

🧠 Add registration keys between mold halves and plan parting lines to follow the **contours of the robe folds** or wing edges—they’ll hide any seams post-casting.

## 🌬️ Vent Placement Tips

- **Wing Tips**: Add slim straw tunnels or toothpick vents.
- **Fingertips/Elbows**: Insert micro-vents in tight creases.
- **Halo/Crown Area**: Place a vent at the highest point if casting upright.

---

## 🌀 Casting Strategy

- Use **rotocasting** for hollow torso and wings.
- **Layer the pour** slowly—first the face, then wings, then arms.
- After curing, you can sand gently around the smile and fingers to enhance softness.

Would you like help sketching the parting line diagram for this angel? Or ideas to stylize the robe and wings for different emotional expressions (e.g. hopeful, joyful, protective)? ✨ I can even help name this celestial guardian if you’re building a whole series.
