Experiments for Mock FMP

Kamajii Latex Mould
Ban Dai - gauru Latex Mould
Kashira Latex Mould
Okusare (Stink Sprit) Latex Mould
For these I made clay moulds and covered them in liquid latex. I have tried different ways of making the heads using these.


Yu - Baaba Paper-Mache Head
Ban Dai - gauru Paper-Mache Head

Kashira Paper-Mache Head

These were made from a mix of kitchen paper, glue and water. They went it to the moulds easily and they looked like they would work but they shrunk and dis-formed. I looked at a book I borrowed and it spoke about plastic wood.

Kashira Plastic Wood

Ban Dai - gauru Plastic Wood

This technique worked very well but plastic wood is made from acetone and smells dreadful.
