Started the second part of the brief.

Making another model out of similar materials.

Learnt a little trick today.

Pin the foam model in the dips, this allows the plastic to get into the details.

The offcut plastic looks like a face if you add eyes.

Or Edvard Munch's 'scream' if you want to get into specifics.

'Oh sugarmonkeys'!'

I think I might do the seat again because it has split a bit up one side.

How it looks all assembled.

1st part of the brief over.

Need to make it from similar materials now.

Varnishing the family today.

Hope I don't get a headache.

Made the bottom foot. I'm not pleased with it. I might do it again if time will let me.

Also been cutting tiny things to stick on.

All the seperate pieces.

Changed the original mold but for no reason because I haven't used it again and have been working with the cast I made from before.

Cut the holes into the seat and need to stick little bits back on.

The seat so far.

DISASTER!!

Its twanged back.

The mold needs to be changed to compensate for this.

Edit: Not as big a disaster as I originally thought. The plastic can be squished into shape.

The upholstery armour stuff. Inspired by Japanese armour.

How it looks on the chair. I haven't added the straps because they're a bit small and fiddly.

Hate the wonky leg!!! Oh well.
