Today I assisted Amy with a head and shoulder life-cast to practice the processes behind making a plaster cast bust such as the one I have on my desk. Though my model does not wish to have a lifecast herself, I feel it is good practice to show how I would have reached this stage of a bust to work ontop of. If my fashion piece was more specifically fitted to my model then a lifecast would have deemed far more necessary, though it is more commonly used as a basis for makeup based projects.
