Primary Research - Faces into Masks

Finished off my primary research today....

Needed to represent faces in a quick and easy way so i decided to make some playdough and use it as a mold for peoples faces. I only used the nose and eyes...then cast into the molds with plaster.

Here's the reciepe for the playdough:

2 cups - flour
2 cups - water
1 cup - salt
1/4 cup - oil
4 teaspoons - cream of tartar...you need some chemical, can't remember what its called but its also in bicarbonate of soda.
food coloring (not needed)

You don't need the proportions to be exact...just enjoy..........

It all came out well, I ended up just using my face as it was easiest. I tried casting into cellophane that was put into the playdough and also tried straight into it...i think the latter was the most interesting. The end product ended up quite morphed but still with the figure of the eyes and nose.. Here's photo's from both he process's....





Need to start secondary research now and start making/developing stuff on monday (as usual, im beind)
