Pushing clay into the crevices of Gertie, trying to get the shape of her curves
Took out clay moulds and brushed wax over them to make the inverse cast for the latex (to make sure Gertie would get dirty or covered in latex mess)
Bacon pieces as textural research for the meaty flaps, they were covered in latex as well (although don't have photos of them) but i think some kind of animal came in and ate them while they were drying out the back of sculpture. But I found you can cook bacon really well with a heat gun, its easier to make it evenly cooked and its gradual for the crispy edges. plus the smell kind of covered up the gross latex smell.
This is after I'd done a few layers of latex in the wax moulds
AND they do look like ears
seeing what the latex looked like on Gertie (it reminds me of waffles)
Mixing colours to get a good skin tone, this is to mix with the latex because its quite transparent so the acrylic will hopefully make the latex look more fleshier.
