Very similar to the mushroom man
1.tin foil armature to create base for head, wire frame to affix to body 2.cover head in super sculpt, affix the epoxy eyes by inserting into clay and framing in with clay eyelids 3.start working out face detail, reference from my experimental mushroom sketch 4.go through theCollins Nature Guide Mushrooms and toadstools identification book to find mushrooms i liked the shape and colour of that were also from britain/europe (I used agaric this time, as a beautiful mushroom that is highly toxic and often confused for a hallucinogenic kind. I liked the colours and the matriarchich symbolism behind giving the female to ability to kill) 5.create wire base and structure and pad out using tin foil 6.cover in super sculpey and build with head using roller tool 7. work in textures using various cross hatching and engraving techniques, use cling film to soften marks (very useful for nose pores) and create arms 8.bake at 250 for 15 minutes 9. use a bowl to create and bake a mushroom cap at the same time, pressing it on top like mould 10. using felting wool and a foam block with felting needles, make the textures cap- red, orange, pink and white wool were used 11. wrap the grey thick yarn around a knitting needle, brush out using a groomers dog comb 12. colour using thin acrylic wash, use pigment powder to shade and add depth 13. glue the wool pieces on using superglue, also use 2 part epoxy glue to affix the cap to the fabric, and then to the figure. use the same glue to affix a half pair of false eyelashes and trim to size 14. after spraying mr super clear matte in a well ventilated area use clear nail varnish to add realistic moisture, in the eyes and mouth, dabbed around other areas 15, use PVA glue to attach model railway scatter grass to the slate (which I found on a walk outside a neighbours house, whom I asked and they said i could have it) and collect rocks of various sized and DRY matter, i refined out the pieces i liked and that balanced well and attached these using 2 part epoxy glue. I put some dried twigs in a bundle and tied with yarn to mimic the gatherer depiction of the mushroom man
