Miss Havisham Design Practise - Seema

 

 



In todays lesson with Seema we practised our hair designs for out Miss Havisham looks we had created for our Timed Assessment. Ayesha was my model, and as you can see from the pictures she has very long thick hair! I had not yet worked on this amount of hair so this was most definitely a challenge for myself. Having said that I felt really lucky to have so much hair to work with and actually, I needed lots of hair to create the shape and texture of my design.

A little texture...

 

 

I wanted to create some sort of texture to add to my hair design for my Miss Havisham look... I had a little play around with my glue gun and some wadding and glitter and this is what I came up with... I will add this in to the hair at the end. I thought that the cobwebs represented decay well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A little more hair inspiration for my Miss Havisham look...

 

This sculpture screams decay to me. For me the focal point is the hair. It is very sparse and if it were real hair looks very thin. It almost looks like it is dripping off the head.  It has inspired me to create some sort of dreadlock effect at the bottom of the hair for my Miss Havisham look.

 

I particularly love the volume in the above picture. It looks as though it has been back combed heavily to create great texture and height. This shape would work brilliantly as a silhouette. I would like to create a similar texture in my Miss Havisham design. 

 

I adore the above picture. It is very chilling and you can tell that it has been well thought about and executed. It really gives off a Miss Havisham feel! Again I would like to create a similar texture in my design for Miss H.
