Geisha Figure #2

All set up to make another geisha, this time I used cotton fabric.

I decided to add a tube to the bottom to pad it out a bit.

Covered the cotton fabric in transparent powertex and formed it on the figure how I wanted it.

Then left her overnight to dry and this what she looked like this morning.

So today I gave her a face and some hair.

And the view from the back.

And a close up of the face.  I did contemplate adding some arms but she looked better without them.

I really like how she came out and how vibrant the red has stayed.

Geisha Figure

 

I started off with a wooden meat hammer, a toilet roll tube and some masking tape.

Next I attached one of the Geisha Powertex heads onto the end of the handle.

I coated a piece of t-shirt fabric in white powertex and draped it over the structure.

Next I coated a piece of green silk in transparent powertex.  It didn't quite turn out how I expected, but it was still salvageable. Once dry I added the lighter green around the middle and neck.  I also wanted bigger hair so I made some stoneart clay and added some beads on cocktails sticks.

Then I painted the hair with black powertex and I also gave her a face.

And this is how she looks from the back.

And a bit of a close up of the front.

And a closer close up of the face and hair.
