Cosplay is everywhere. Conventions are going on all the time, events are being held at bars around town and having an amazing costume to be seen at any of these is a must! As any good cosplayer knows a lot of effort goes into creating costumes and those little touches and fine details make all the difference.
For the last couple of weeks, I have been building, moulding and casting a life size Asian elephant head.
It’s been quite a process from beginning to end, and the difficulty has definitely been compounded by the scale.
For this project I have made use of all my skills and even some of other peoples!
In this line of work the more contacts you have the better. You never know who or what you may need to call on to get the job done.
It is a life cast taken of your pregnant belly. I take a ‘skin safe’ and non toxic algenate and plaster mould of your body and create a unique and commemorative keepsake of this moment. With the mould created, I immediately produce a plaster casting of your belly.
The past week was a busy one!
I spent the week introducing students at the Cameron Jane School of Makeup Design for a unit in their Diploma of Specialist Make-up Services. In this unit they learnt how to sculpt, mould, and life cast for prosthetic makeup.
What an adventure!
Last weekend (20/21st FEB 2016) Bowl-A-Rama took place in Bondi. Over two days top of the crop skaters took place in the competition heats advancing through to the finals on Sunday.
What’s involved in making a mould? How is a mould created and used? A run through of the process involved.
Moulding and Casting are often confused.
Whilst the two processes are nearly always used in conjunction with each other, they are very different techniques.
