I was wondering, when making a two piece mold of something with high off center protrusions, lets say for example something with high narrow horns like this:

....when separating the mold, I\'m assuming the protrusion will essentailly break off in the mold during seperation and need to be dug out with care to avoid damaging the mold. This seems like it would also make it considerably more difficult to separate the sculpture from the mold as well if you have more of these protrusions. I wasn\'t sure how easily protrusions in the sculpture would \'give\' under these conditions once the clay has dried (using something such as WED for example). Any info would be appreciated.
