More head dresses

Hi, I am sorry I have't really kept up with blogging this week, there has been a bit of a kerfuffle as the floor has turned into a mini lake in the corner and half the classes bored have been taken away, min included, hence no space. This means a large proportion of my work is currently residing in the cubord therefor it is unreachable at this moment in time.
Anyway, now that apology is out of the way, this is what I have done.
I dunked a head dress in plaster to see what happened, and a pleased with the results.


Its try ghostly, which makes it feel more transparent, do on theme. I also tried dunking other scraps of fabric.


I like the results, I am thinking about how to use it.
I also tried making head dressed out of carrier bags. I need to work on shape, but I like the woven effect. 


Having Tesco bags may give through impression I am trying to talk about an issue to do with those supermarkets, so I may use clear bags if I can gt hold of them.
I also tried tissue paper.

It may look nicer with writing on? I may try that, though I had great trouble encouraging the head dress to hold a normal shape. The attempt at a grill is nothing short of knightish and I think was a gross miscalculation on my part. It looks weird.
Finally I tried this odd plastic fabric.

The string weave works well,but once again, shape issues and I should have turned up the top front eyes hole bit to avoid fraying.
That is what I have done.
