This was one of the first inspirations I found that could be used for the face and the brain but thought that it could show the brain off didn't want it to be hidden away.

So the I found this technique of using a balloon to make the shape of object and then apply thread to the balloon with PVA to make sure it's circure so once the balloon burst the structure will still be standing. 

Could even be a technquie used in my FMP for the 'Cinderella tree' cut the top part out to form the leaves of the tree

My first thought how to make the structure Was to wrap celitape round my faceal features to put onto the balloon mould to create a head shape n my atempt to do this the mould didn't look realistic and that it could look out of place.

After finding out that using my face for the mould didn't work I found a mask that I had, so that I could get the basic shape of a face without it being to difficult to create. From the mehod previous (from the spider and old woman storyboard) I wraped celitape around the mask (sticky side up) and then once again wrap the celitape round the second time (sticky side down) to create a solid mould. Once the mould was finished I then cut off the celitaped structure from the mask itself so that I could glue kitchen roll to it so there would be a flat surface for me to then paint onto to make the mask (face) look realistic.

For the the eyes I thought about making the eyes from the same method but then thought they would look out of place so I then decided to draw the eyes on paper and stick them behind the wholes in the mask in my opinion I felt that this technquie worked very well with the painted mask and did like life like.

After popping the balloon the structure was collapseing to try and resolve this issue I tide knots in the structure where the weaker parts were to try and strengthen the structure as I couldn't  add more thread and glue onto it as I didn't have enough time. If the balloon was a lot small I think that the structure collaping wouldn't be a problem as the structure would be more compacked.
