Modroc and paper mache sculptures

These pictures show the process of making my carousel horses head.

 

I firstly tried to make a paper patter which dint go to plan so I then tried to make a paper mache model of the head. As I used 6 layers of paper mache the head came out quite bulky and I wanted the detail of the horses face so this wasn't suitable for my final product.

 

I then tried using modroc and made a cast of the head which has caught the detail of the face and straps. I am happy with how it has turned out.

Now I will have to think about how to mount it onto a wall displayed in a frame.

Animal Stole

 

Here are some pictures of my finished product, a seahorse animal stole.

The brief was to create an animal stole choosing an animal of my choice. I chose to go for a slightly more unusually animal rather than going for the obvious animal stole choices such as a fox, a badger etc..

Sampling!

Here are my final vintage themed cushions. All of these pictures are my own!

Cushion Update

Screen printed cushions with piped edges

Wadding cut out to size ready to stuff the cushions

My bay

Screen print with repeat bottle print using pastel pigments and perfume bottle label in gold foil

After I had finished stuffing the cushions and arranged them I thought that the cushion looked far too big but we will have to see when i have assembled it together

Testing different arrangements

Pastel wool to wrap around the thread cushions
