Severed Head

I have recently doing a comission to produce a copy of a performers head. The process included a full head cast in chevant, re-sculpt and re-mould and ultimate cast in latex and PU foam. Here are some images documenting the job.

Chevant cast of the models head. The oil based clay is melted and poured/slushed around the alginate and plaster mould of the model.



PU foam & latex is cast in to the 2 part plaster mould of the chevant cast/sculpt.



Finished paint job using acrylics mixed with latex and cut with a very small amount of water in order to be airbrushed.

Heart

I built this heart for 2 friends wedding. It measured about 1.8m x 1.5m and had golf ball light bulbs wired up throught. The effect was quite impressive as night drew in.

The Green Man

Here are a few step-by-step images of a latex mask made as a demo for a workshop.

The removed latex mask. The first layer of latex had a green pigment added to make the paint job easier.
