Making an Automata out of Wood and Paper

Automata making, from a cast this was paper mache'd into a casing. once all of the technical elements were working they were also added to the Automata.  I used Brown and Cherry boot polish to give everything a wax feel, and a consistent colour of a darker wood. The handle rotates and make the doll laugh.

Casting part of a skull, with Fibre glass.

 Clay walls were built around the skull so only what was needed was showing

Moulding poured in and left to cool down and set. 

Fibre glass applied to the mould and left overnight

Removed the fibre glass skull and cleaned it up a little, removing the rough edges
