Arm Cast + Fabric

Experimenting with putting Fabric into my casts, need to work out how to fasten it in but really like the idea of random, yet slightly crazy (or insane) materiels. Combine this with the idea of painting it and I really like where my plan for the A Rakes Progress project is going!

Plaster cast and Armour

http://clivehicksjenkins.wordpress.com/2010/04/05/

Link to a wordpress blog, which has got a section where someone had made a plaster cast armour piece before using it to create a full set of armour. Pretty similar all thought I want to build on the plaster, not make a metal suit on top of the plaster!

Really want to try some kind of 3D for the Rakes Progress project. I'm enjoying the idea of working on some kind of plaster based armour. Some kind of burden, it links to the past in that our armour now is no longer heavy but doesn't directly link to A Rakes Progress. Need to give it some thought but I'm happy with where it's going.

Body Casts.

Pretty sure we might of run out of supplies trying to cast Wez but it was actually really good. The casts came out well and as with all the other 3D I have done I really enjoyed it. Pretty much Wez didn't enjoy being sat still for so long but oh well!

Face casts.

Didn't have one done myself but this was our job on Liam (I had a cast done on my hand). Good stuff and it came out well, I do need to grab some more photos of where they are at now to add to this. Currently covered in clay and all sorts of fancy things!
