Creating the Head Piece

when creating the head piece initially i had to stick card board on the back of the structure to make sure it held in place, when i decided i would use this in my final design in assessment i wanted the structure to look effortless in hold on its own. Seema had suggested PVA glue or a strong hold hair spray, i wanted to experiment to make sure it would stand.
Further i also adapted the design of the head piece to fully create the effect my final deign had the plaits going around the whole  of the head to create this wreath like feel, i added two more plaits worn around the back of the head to do this.

I bought a material head band so that the wool would stick onto it easily compared to the metal one i had started with, i began by created a structure that all joined i began getting smaller pieces of string and tieing the plaits together at various points along the surface, so all the plaits joined. I also tied the plaits to the head band so extra security. 

I began playing around with the pva glue covering the back in the glue i left this for a day and the glue wasn't strong enough so the structure would just flop over. I then used the hair spray but began to realize i needed something a little stronger but still didn't want to stick anything on the back of the head band. I came up with the idea of using something to skewer through the woolen structure i looked around my room and decided to break up some hangers and try that this worked well i then tied them in place at points so they were secure and thoroughly hair sprayed this then stood up perfectly. As i the bottom of the design was sitting behind the neck i didn't want this to be structured so i just left this loosely tied.
