Unexpected Results; my favourite…
UncategorizedOn impulse, I embarked on an endeavor of pure experimentation; using fragments of vintage, lace curtains & doilies plus my homemade fabric stiffener, I created a 3D mould of a mannequin head. The unexpected? Well, I didn’t coat the mannequin in any kind of lubrication or releasing agent; so, when I removed the lace/doilies…the paint coating get the mannequin, came too! But, it looks great through the gaps in the lace, almost like a layer of skin. Perfect.
