1: wire to make red cap base
2: cut wire to 1 metre for use. Then using a pencil wrap the wire around the pencil x3 to give a stiff head shape. then make arms using pliers, again wrap wire around the pencil x4 to make body shape.
3: To make skirt made four loops on left, right, front and back, securing to the main strip of wire, then running wire down to feet making a loop for the ballet slippers.
4: Adding on plasticine carving into the correct shapes to form a body and head. Tried applying the same technique to the tutu but the plasticine was too heavy. Using cardboard cut out a circle a fixed it to her waist to form a tutu base.
5: With a thin layer of plasticine to the tutu.
6: with her cape and hair curls attached.
7: with cape and hair painted using acrylic, these needed two coats for a good thick colour.
Cape painted.
8: finished red cap, with painted knee high socks and ballet slippers ( red).
Keeping Red Cap with her red cape obviously to symbolise who she is, the white is to symbolises purity and innocence.
( costume based on the ballet, Nutcracker. )
