Haha I did something "inhuman" to Zhang Rui today
I covered her WHOLE face with transparent plastic wrap so her skin can't breath. But I poked holes for her to get air through the nose LOL. Then, covered plaster (used for those who broke their arm) and pieced it all over her face. Covering her nose, eyes everything. When the plaster harden you can get it off and there you go. A life sized human mask!!!
The plaster is not like clay or anything. It is actually a bandage roll which you cut piece by piece and paste onto your skin. When you put water, the bandage will "melt" and mould to the shape of your skin. Then there's the waiting part for it to dry. I think it's actually plaster of paris (though a bit stronger) covering the bandages. :P
Poor thing. It isn't nice to have plastic wrap covering your face with someone touching all over your cheeks and eyes and chin, pasting something white and guey. Something you cannot see. xD
Since Zhang Rui was a perfect mannequin with her prettaye prettaye face sculpted really nicely :D (yeah lah I didn't chose Yibei's face or my face xD ), Yibei, Xiaojun, and Me wanted to mould the mask on her face. But it appeared very tough for her to have this process repeated 4 times (she wanted one for herself too) so Yibei and Xiaojun cancelled their names on the waiting list. So I mould her face two times (first for her, then me).
