Re Doing My Gill And My Final Prosthetic Pieces

I decided that I was not happy with one of the gills that I created. I noticed that after I had poured the coloured silicone mixture into the mould air bubbles had formed. I was hoping that these bubbles would not effect the overall outcome of the final prosthetic as they appeared to only be on the top. However as I began removing it from the mould the bubbles began to pop leaving rips and tears in the silicone and the Baldiez layer. This meant that it would be almost impossible to be applied neatly and blend it seamlessly in to the skin. Therefore I decided that I would re do this prosthetic today. I was a bit worried about creating this prosthetic again as it was  only a few days before the assessment and I thought that if this one failed then I would not have enough time to re do it again. Luckily however this prosthetic piece has turned out to be the most successful one which I have created throughout this whole unit. I carried out the steps in the same order and in the same way as every other piece that I created but all the steps came together really well. The Baldiez was very smooth and even, and the prosthetic was of a good thickness and colour. I think one of the reasons that it came together better was because I was relaxed while creating it and was in no rush.  I was able to take my time and really put effort in to getting it right. When I removed the piece from the mould it came away really easily, far more than usual, and had a good shape to it. Overall I am really pleased that I redid it as at first I was unsure. After today's success part of me wishes that I redid them all!

These are my final prosthetic pieces that I have created for my human hybrid. After repeating my one failed mould I am now pleased with the way that they have all turned out. It also appears that the prosthetic which was worse at the beginning is now the best. I think that they have a good shape and will hopefully create a realistic hybrid for me. I initially struggled with getting the layer of Baldiez even and smooth and in one reasonably unripped piece for application. However after some practise I think that I have improved on this and will be able to apply and blend my prosthetic pieces into the skin well.
