My final neck piece!

My next step..

I choose this shape for my final design. I choose a simple shape as I thought my design would be very textured.

I looked at two matierals in my sculpture ( Chicken wire and torn wadding). I thought the looked tacky covered in red paint. I decided to spray paint both a skin colour. I stretched the wadding over the chicken wire and sewed it. Then I tore it in different places.

I thought laytex really resembled skin. I wanted to layer this over the wadding, stretching and ripping the laytex too. I did a few swatches of laytex.


I applied it thickly, inserted pins in to it and then took them out when dry. I then scraped this swatch of laytex after.

I also did a swatch where I placed knifes, forks, needles etc.. into the laytex and left them in it when dry.

For my final garment I layered laytex over cling film so it would crinkle and curl when dry and taken off. I placed pins, forks, knifes, etc. in the laytex and peeled them out once dry. Then I stretched the laytex over the chicken wire and wadding and sewed it.

I then Embroidered a red stitch around the edges of the garment. I felt red needed to be added into the piece to lift it. I also attached red ribbon to the sides of the garment so it would tie to fit the body. I then attched the two pieces and placed them on the body.

Croquis

I took shapes from the manican designs I created and placed them on croquis in different ways.

I picked two of these shapes to focus on! Then I cut them out of paper in different scales and placed them on the manican to create different designs!

Pulling Shapes

From the pictures I took of my sculpures I did analitical drawings and I began pulling shapes.

New Project!!

We thought of every word possible to do with the five senses (touch, taste, sound, sight, smell). From these words we each picked five random words. My words were gritty, scratching, smokey, movement and earthy. I cut my list down to three words (gritty, scratching, smokey). I  made up verbs to match these three words. I researched artists, garmends, and images for them.

Gritty:

Smokey:

Scratching:

Sculpture number 2!

I'm nearly finished my first sculpture so I decided to make another one. I'm making a cast of my hands made from wax. I'm then going to rip the wax and have blood and stuff pouring out of it. First I had to place my hands in gooey liquid dentists use for making moulds. After it dried I took my hands out and my mould was made. I then poured wax into the mould.
