What went wrong 

The head was to big I didn't proportion the face right meaning if attached to a body, the head would weigh down the whole thing causing it to break apart. 

The first nose I did I didn't like the way It was shaped it was my first try so got rid of it and started again. 

Clothing

I wanted to create two outfits for my doll inspired by the two highest percentages from my DNA results. 

North& west Europe (Scandinavian): 49.2%

West African(Nigerian):41.2%

My Thoughts

 

WWW: 

  • I experimented with different materials when constructing the clothing, i wanted to create different textures instead of using clay again and i liked the outcomes.

EBI:

  • I should have done more practice and research into how to build a clay body,the technique of using the tin foil worked, but  I could have executed it better. Maybe by making it smoother because it was a bit bumpy.

  • when it came to constructing the clothing I felt I did cop out a bit using the glue gun instead of sewing.
