Problems to be solved!!!

I am also making full dolls heads out of wax using different animal eyes
I would like to have a large pyramid of these, they will all have a differnet  range of skin colours. Since doing this project my fears of dolls are slowly melting away because I am around them so much, when I have the pyramid of wax heads completed I would like to hang a small heater or heat lamp over it, too slowly melt the heads down to a pile of wax and eyes this will convey the overcoming of my childhood fear.  At the moment i am trying to figure out how i could make a pyramid out of wax heads would i be able to glue them together with glue or wax? will i have to make some sort of a structure? how? these are the questions and problems i am trying to answer and solve. photos coming soon!!

so at the moment!!

In the last semester i created a full dolls head made out of plaster i did it as an experiment i made a mode out of plasyer bandages and filled it with plaster i let it dry, peeled off the bandages and this is what happened.
 But i really liked the grittiness and the cracks and imprefections
it gave the deteriorating dolls head a sence of life.
The heads photographed really well these were photos were took for my power point presentation.
I decided to make two more heads and photograph them with a black background here are a selected few of the 80 pictures i had taken.







I just took these photographs with a dslr 3100, i like the way they came out but i plan on taking better photographs in the studio with proper back drops and lighting and i think they would turn out extremely better. I think i would also like to experiment with using a white back drop just to see how they would look. I am going to print these images out in a very large scale as large as i can get!
The bigger the better! I think this will enhance the feelings I would like to convey to the audience if the photographs were large in sizw they would have more of an impact on the audience.

I also experimented with a bit of photoshop its very ott well thats what i think but i like them!
