The making of "The Goat" mask [11]

I started by making a sheet of plastic with polymorph, and also I drew circles in a paper in order to make a perfect or near perfect spiralling horn. Also so after drawing it I could possible see which of the two choices could be better, The horns going inwards or outwards.

Here you can see the plastic sheet and an outline drawing of the plastic sheet.
I came across more than one problem in this part. The big one was that cutting this material in a spiral shape, especially when it goes to the middle of the plastic sheet. Other problem was how to get a spiral that would feel right, and not hand made.

So at this point I came to a point that I couldn't go further. I tried other ways to do the horns. Some different ways that could be easier than doing it this way.

Some of the ways where:

- make many triangles of different sizes and than melt them together in a horn shape.

- make many rectangular sheets of plastic and melt them together like the one above or close to it.

- other way was to make tree long plastic rods and make it in a long triangle, than melt it in a way that it would become horn shape, afterwards use some plastic sheets to make the outside.
- and some others.


In the end, all of them where really difficult, to make for different reasons. Some for the complexity, or the many different parts. Other problem that came across was the lack of stability.
