May. 21st, 2007 12:53 pmI made the ass's head for A Midsummer Night's Dream last month.
It's made of florist's foam, which I carved with a knife.

It's covered in paper mache and acrylic paint. The inside part is a baseball cap, which is glued in but still adjustable, so it can stay firmly on any size head.


EDIT: I feel like I should add that this worked REALLY WELL. If you ever need to make a wearable light-weight 3D object that looks as if it has some heft to it, try this method. This thing can't have weighed more than two pounds, and it cut like butter when I was carving it. (Of course I had to cut through the dried glue bits where I'd stuck the blocks together, though.) Just keep in mind that it's foam- it won't survive tons of pressure.
I did all the makeup, too!
Also- I just got a job at JoAnn's! Hot damn!
