THE SCARECROW'S READY
First of all, I wanted to apologise for not bringing my mask to school. Here's the reason: It consists of (as you can see from the photos) many fragile objects (straw, needles) and a heavy earthenware pot. This means transporting it would be a dangerous adventure and it could result in a damage of my mask. Especially since I travel by bus. That's why I decided to take pictures of a ready mask and evaluate it here.
Just to let you know, the nose is made of a christmas tree branch, while my scarecrow's hair is pure straw...
So here is the front of my mask...
And here is my scarecrow, side view...
EVALUATION
What I am quite happy about is that the outcome isn't too different from what I planned in my projects. That really restores my faith in my own consistency. The mouth is painted and the pot suits quite well. But it's probably the end of the advantages' list. Here are the problem I met on my creation journey:
1) THE NOSE
I must admit I even prepared a perfect stick for the nose. It was supposed to be wooden and kind of 'doubled' (two pieces sticking out of one). Still, when I tried it out I realised it looks really poor and ineffective. I decided to search for a better substitute and the only thing I could find at home was a branch from our christmas tree. Thank god I managed to cut the necessary part off before my parents threw it away
2) GLUING
So I thought the glue I have (the WIKOL type) is perfect for sticking the scarecrow's hair. Unfortunately the straw refused to cooperate and I found it impossible to glue it. I found sticky tape helpful although the effect was not too spectacular.
3) STRUCTURE
Here is my huge inadvertence, because I guess the mask would be a bit better, tougher and better-looking if a few more layers of paper was added.
In general I am quite satisfied about the effect though there is still some room for improvement. Surely I won't make the same mistakes next time, but I wonder when will I have a chance to create a mask again...
