I have taken the head off an angel, and used it to cast another two heads that I have also used. with these three plaster heads, I have carved out a hole in the top, which I have then melted a candle into the top and put string in the top for when the wax cooled down, essentially I had made three candles, something which I enjoyed creating, enjoyed the look of them and I think they work well as a piece as long i i were to paint them in the future for a better appearence. I have attached the images of these to this post.

I have decided to use these in the degree show, however I will have to buy led candles, ones that will be allowed with health and safety as im not allowed fire with public, apparently its not a good mix…

These candles will be around the edge of the dark room which I am going to create. This will add a darker effect of skulls and heads, but it will also serve a practical use as the audience will be able to actually see the edges of the wall. I say this because I put a lantern in the dark space and I ended up walking into the walls as they were painted black and did not reflect any of the light back at me, causing me to loose judgement of where the wall was. These candles will help to solve this problem, and also give a walk way for an audience, who will walk round a specific route.
