This image shows the effect that wax had on the clothes. It proved very successful as the was allows you to mould the clothes into certain shapes while it is still drying even enabling the items of clothing to stand up on their own. Our next plan of action is to practice painting into these garments in preparation for the clothes we will actually include in the final piece.
These images show the effect that plaster has on the clothes. We think that the textures are interesting and show age and wear which is what we are aiming for. However, these pieces are very hard to shape. For now wax looks like the most hopeful way of hardening the clothes.
This blog is really coming together! Its great we can see the processes you are experimenting with and the photographs of the pieces themselves are nicely done.
