Once the resin was dry; which as it was dipped was over night I peeled the samples off the surface I have placed them on and observed them. Most of the flowers had lost their coloring and have shriveled up. It also wasn't very apparent that they had been dipped in resin at all

Resin was another material I experimented with.I spent the day prepping materials I had gathered earlier to be dipped and sealed in resin. This was my first time using resin and i'd be happy to use it again, it's a great material and I would imagine my dipped samples will look great on the model.

Next I started sculpting faces out of Plasticine. I'm comfortable using Plasticine, it's nice to work with and it leaves a nice finish! I spent the rest of the day doing this, trying to get the right expression and character in the models.

I experimented and played around with facial expressions a lot more! I want this model to be just right in regards to expression.

I've now moved onto my experimentation, one of the processes I did involved the hot glue gun. It was suggested to me that I use the glue from a hot glue gun as a synthetic material for my model. I streaked hot glue down a glass plate (the glass prevents it from sticking) and once dry I peeled it away and tested it out on a pre drawn face in my book. Initially I wanted to use it for some kind of facial hair but after testing I realized it would look better as bits of plant life dripping off the body.

I continued to play around with different idea's and designs.

The common hare was in fact a really good piece of research because it's character fits the leshy's character really well. The leshy is described as being mischievous and sneaky, which are the characteristics that are used to describe a fox. It also makes me think, how do I want my character to stand? if it's being compared to a fox then surely it should look slender and toned?
