About my wound assessment...

Creating my own mould was a very exciting and educational process. I feel like I have found out a lot  of information that I did not know before, but most importantly I have acquired techniques and skills that I will most definitely use in the future while creating my designs and making them become something more tangible. Sculpting was the most exciting part for me as it was the part where it all started. I could have sculpted whatever I wanted, whatever shape I wanted. Personally, I found this whole process very therapetuic and relaxing. It is something that I will definitely do more often, even as a hobby. Even though it's quite time consuming, it is definitely worth spending some time on it for it to come out ideal. The tools that I have used to sculpt my mould, helped me a lot and that's made me realise how important tools are when making your own piece. Or even doing someone's make up... They are just as much important as the quality of the make up itself.

When it comes to creating the silicone mould, I have found that quite stressful at times, because I knew that if I contaminate the products- it won't work. It was the pressure of it not working out that made the whole process more challenging the anything I have ever done before. However, I have soon come to the realisation that only practise will make me feel more confident while creating my own silicone pieces and all of a sudden it wasn't that bad! There is a lot to remember during the process of creating your own piece so I have learnt that it is very important to have your notes with you because you do have to follow the instructions, as they are very strict and like I have mentioned before- it is very easy to make a mistake while mixing the two types of silicone.

Applying the wound was the hardest part. I found that I applied too much glue onto the wound itself, the edges started folding and that made it very hard to blend. This is unfortunately visible in the photos, however I do understand why that is the case, and know what to do to stop it from happening again in the future!

I have enjoyed every part of this process, even though like I have said above- it was quite stressful at times, but it was all educational at the same time. It has really helped me to stay focused and concentrate on my work instead of my nerves and I am sure that lesson with stick with me for a while, if not forever.
