I have been collecting my eyelashes for quite some weeks now, however due to the minuscule size of them I haven’t really done anything with them except store them in a little plastic pot. As my other personal work has been working really well for me, I wanted to do something with these eyelashes but how?
I ended up buying a polystyrene head off of Ebay and decided I would try using them in they way eyelashes are used on your eyes. I coated them all in mascara to make them darker so they would stand out more. I bought some superglue and began the fiddly task of gluing them on this head. It did take quite some time due to how fiddly it was, however it did produce quite a nice effect. For it to be more effective I need to collect more as they are a bit sparse at the moment.
I do like the look of the eyelashes on the head as it displays them clearer to the viewer as eyelashes naturally are. However I’m not sure if they now look ‘too nice’. Whether when people know they are my own eyelashes it would creep them out, or whether they were better in the pot when they were just discarded eyelashes in a bundle? For now I’ll leave them be on the head, but I’m not sure about them.
