Carrying on from where we left off...
7. I added on the nose and brow piece. Which was a leftover scrap from when I made my V1's jaw (It was already a curved T like you see)
Yet another case where I sewed it into place in the center and left it at that. *sigh*
By this point though, I've remembered how I lock stitch, and have gone back over some stuff resulting in tighter seems, and fewer breaks. The method is still flawed though as I'm feeding the loops through, then pulling too tightly, resulting in pinched foam
8. What's this? Foam that seems to be sticking to the balaclava? Madness!
I was trying to get the material flush, by poking the needle through. then feeding it back through further down the foam. The technique was okay, but not quite perfect.
I was laying the groundwork for my later epiphany though.
9. Furthing a concept, I've begun to lockstitch the newly joined pieces... So close, yet so far.
10. Give my creation... Shape! Eeeeeyeah. I think that I may've gotten ahead of myself here. cutting into the foam to shape the eybrows and mouth I began to see a flaw in my newest technique.
Y'see, as I cut the foam. I was cutting through the seams I'd just made to hold pieces in place. Things would get droopy without me noticing. Or warp their position. The warping was largely due to me using whip stitching to hold the foam. as stitches broked. the foam would warp more and more... Oh well. I said. It's just a test head anywho. (ever hear the story about the contractor who didn't want to build that last house?)
11&12. The jaw and ears were attached the same way. I drew about where I figured I wanted them. and then did my combo whip/lock stitch. Remember what I said about the whip stitch warping the face?
Yep, a lot of folks might see problems ahead for this head...
Yep, there's more to come! Head on to part 3 if you still haven't lost your giblets.
