Today Easter bank holiday Monday, I have made a mod roc mould from the face cast, I have attached it to the body by using mod roc, I have also bought the biggest doll I could afford and covered it in cling film then covered ones side with mod rock then having taken away the mould repeated the same process with the back of the doll, then once the back mould is removed joined the two halves together with mod  roc, I have purchased fibre board 6ft high by 2 ft. wide, this is for the back of the moulds, the display board, I have yet to attach the mould to the board.

This picture shows how I have covered the cling film with mod roc on the front of the doll.

the two mod roc moulds made from a cast which I covered with cling film before applying the mod roc.

Here I am applying mod roc to join the two halves of the head together.

in this picture you can see that I have only made one half of the baby mould and not yet joined the head to the body.

On this shot you can see me joining the neck and body together, you can also see red beads around the wrist of the mould, I have removed them and painted them black and made a low relief cross from sheet metal (bronze), which I will attach to the beads once dried and put them back around the wrist. the mother and child, nature and nurture, religion and faith are represented in this piece.

I need to attach the mould to the background I shall save this for tomorrow, Tuesday.  I have not yet decided weather to tie the mould to the background or make paper Mache or purchase more mod roc to join the mould to the fibre board, I also have adhesive plaster, I shall have to give this some thought tonight.
