After experimenting with clay sculpts for the mask piece of the bird maquette, I decided to also look into a potential fabric choice. This could be a plush, or stuffed mask to go with the rest of the model, or perhaps this could be used as a base pattern for a small leather mask that could be moulded with water and left to dry?
I decided to experiment with calico, firstly to get the sizings correct which took a few attempts.
This took a surprisingly long amount of time, as the whole thing measures less than 9cm it was quite fiddly. Once the whole mask itself was finished, I attempted to put a back on it so it could be stuffed and made plush. However, after several tries at this, I realised this was not a method I wanted to use in the final piece,
I could still use this as a pattern if I wanted to try the leather route though, or any other path that required a correctly sized pattern.
