Previously the foam prototype allowed me to see the construction, pattern and how the mask would hold itself together. Now I've seen this in 3D and have made some adjustments I can move onto the next prototype.
For this I'm using the kind of fabric that I'll make the final mask out of so I can see how well this material supports itself. I bought an old fake leather suitcase to strip down for this fabric; this gives me unique material that already slightly battered and was also a way of staying within my project budget! The fact that it's fake leather also means that it's much, much easier to work with than real leather would be; it's also softer so more comfortable for the wearer, cheaper and more readily available.
After stripping the suitcase of its panels, I began cutting out the mask pattern. The adjustments seen here are curved jaw/ cheek corner shapes instead of sharper ones, as I prefer this shape.
