[stoneylonesome]

Some bodies don't really need a face. :lol::lol: Nice one Marie really like the composition on this.

[Charles Richards]

woah, that's kind of creepy haha

[forsakenme720]

Wow, those faces are sooooooo detailed. What's the story behind them?

[marie]

ha ha ha
weirdy in London :lol:

many thanks Jim and Sandy , Charles and Forsakenme

I was a bit gobsmacked when I saw these 'masks' and kindof pushed through a crowd to get nearer and see 'what on earth' :shock:

they really were fascinating to see but I had only time to take this shot and move out of the way
the larger photo shows some of the notice which helps explain

imagine having your face lying beside you in the bed

:mrgreen:

(then again.....
I guess it could be worse) :confused:

:lol::lol:

I would guess they take a plaster mold on your face, can you imagine sticking your face in plaster while smiling ? The one with the beard is really cool,,,,

[Mike-DT6]

I like this shot! :-)

Those are so highly detailed reproductions I was wondering if they use some modern scanning technique, then the face is reconstructed by laser in one of those wax-filled tanks. I can't think of any traditional moulding technique that would allow the owner to keep their eyelashes, eyebrows and beards afterwards!

EDIT: No, I must be wrong. I've just noticed it says otherwise in the photo!

excellent Marie, you find the most amazing stuff heh heh....the masks remind me of the movie Face Off.

[BottomBracket]

This is a really interesting photo marie! You have captured the detail and texture of the masks well. Somehow though, I am oddly reminded of your 'Sundays Busted' thread :shock:

[marie]

many thanks for that Jim and Mike :cool: Roger and Pio
interesting . I can't imagine for how long the cast has to set on the face
even for a few moments I think I would have panic stations if it was covering my mouth and nose :mad:

there must be a good way as they all look very happy :mrgreen:
( maybe in their last moments)
:(

maybe a serial killer does it for a loving record of his victims
while he tickles them to death
:shock:

but the details on those faces added later are exceptional

lol the busts are bursting out all over Pio
and it happens its Sunday again :lol:

I never saw the film 'face off' Roger , but I see it mentioned here and there a lot (here mostly)
lol

[JimAskew]

Wonderful, Marie! Thanks for sharing :)

[Stef10d]

Based on the level of detail in the molds, I'd guess that alginate was used to create them.

[marie]

thanks Jim and thanks Stef

if I see them on display some other time I'll try and make some inquiries

I like your first shot. I think it would be much, much stronger in B&W, though.

thanks Stephen

I had tried the bl/wh....thinking it was a sure thing with those masks and the contrast, but it looks much better with slight colour
