MAKING "RAINBOW EYE"

Here is a short video on how I made my fourth Photoshop image, "Rainbow Eye".

MAKING "LAVENDER"

Here is a short video on how I made my third photoshop image called "Lavender".

HEAD PIECE

Here are some pictures of my headpiece. I used fake feather and flowers and a pirate hat. I cut the edges off the pirate hat leaving just the dome. I started with fake blue-tongue dragon flower and hot glued them with their bases in the centre on top of the dome. I then hot glued some other purple fake flowers under that. On the stems of these flowers were like branches with buds on them. I decided to cut those off and glue them around the base and in between the purple flowers. I still felt like something was missing, so I made some paper flowers and stuck a fabric bauble in the middle. To finish I glues all the feathers on.

MAKING "TWO BLUE"

Here is a short video on how I made my Photoshop image "Two Blue".

PICTURES OF MY FINAL FACE PAINT

As you can see, I changed my design to make it more practical. The eyes had a more defined changed of colour and the head piece was changed, but the essential ideas stayed the same. The Karo Tribe influence is present in the simple colouring of the face and patterns, but I added certain elements on the eyes (rainbow colours and style of liner) to make the design original and more complex. The head piece was inspired by a picture of a man wearing a large head piece which you can see on my "Inspiration Page" Post.

THIRD DESIGN

My third and final design, and also the one I went with, incorporated 5 cultures: Aztec, Egyptian, African, Indian and Japanese. The Aztec culture can be seen in the design of the headdress. The Egyptian culture is shown in the eyes, particularly in the eye liner which I copied directly from Cleopatra. The Indian Henna is only present in the jewellery that attaches at the base of the eyebrows and ends at the nose. The hints of red remind me of the Japanese culture because of the way they use red on occasions such as wedding days. Finally the circles and simple colours display the African culture.
