With Pete
I lost the actual tutorial sheet, so I wrote down what I can remember during this stage, this was the first tutorial I had with pete to discuss what I desired to make.
After pete liked my idea, I went off to do some primary research and to look into the possibilities I could relate my project to.
I also looked into characters that inspired me to go choose the specific route I took.
Notes:
Underline the project influences
Research, link to project
Annotated work
Collaboration with other students
Assitants
( Links to organising )
- 5 weeks - should be nearly finished with shooting/final outcome.
- Finalised idea - human hybrid based on ol folklore fairytales ( Brothers Grimm)
Influences
Primary resources that relate to the project
Techniques that may be appropriate
Contact people in industry

With Laura
A group tutorial with Laura, where we all participated in mentioning some good points about what could be relevant to the project, and how to go about researching. A helpful tutorial.
At this point, I still knew I was going the right way about my work. I had studied many relevant topics and books that could of use to my project.
I was beginning to think of what character I wanted to study at this point, and what sort of end result I wanted.
I also got in touch with some students who could help with my final piece.
Notes:
Faun hand prosthetic
Cast the hand to fit the purpose of the hoof. Almost so it's glove-like.
Difficulty in deciding what material to use for a likeness of a pigs trotter.
Gelatine/ Silicone ?
Possibly think about floating the pices off
plasterline hand + sculpt on top of hand cast
Hair punching on arm, textures
- Alginate
- Plaster cast
- Sculpt
- Fibreglass mold onto sculpt
2 part mold
- Experiment with various materials to see what works.

With Carolyne
During this stage, I was struggling to know how to go about making a mold for my prosthetic hoof hand, I had a tutorial with carolyne to hav a look at my blog at this stage and to also discuss how it could be done.
I was thrilled to have this tutorial, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my head. I was struggling quite a bit at this point as I had never created a prosthetic hand before. All the research criteria I looked at didn't really make sense to me, and I started getting slightly concerned with how it could be done, and whether I would be able to do it in time.
After having a discussion with Carolyne and Pete about what steps to approach to get the prosthetic hand, I did feel like I had been educated a bit more, and I then understood how it could be done.
