The bottoms of the molds have been done, the molds opened up and the clay removed. Colored latex is first painted in the molds while the two halves are open, then the molds are assembled. A couple of pours later, and the molds are opened to reveal the cast latex paw.

(Yeah, I skipped over talking about cleaning the molds out, running a test skin, a bit of patching and such on the molds, adding reinforcement to the latex in-between pours, and so forth).
