After a lot of rearranging I finally came up with my final board (#8). I decided on this as I felt neither side was too over crowded, and everything was kept a good distance apart. I measured the centre of each wipe to be in the same place so this consistency would run throughout my boards. However, due to the fact they are material and fairly stretchy one way, they wouldn’t be consistently exactly the same shape but due to what I’m collecting i knew this wouldn’t be possible. But I felt for them to be most aesthetically pleasing they at least had to look consistent, even if they weren’t completely accurate.
The wipe was placed central from either side, but slightly higher than centre so I could have the four cotton wool balls evenly spaced beneath it. I then spaced the contact lenses and eyelashes (if I had collected any that day) a similar distance apart (top, middle and bottom of wipe). I decided to tie my bunch of hair in a knot at the top. I think I was influenced to do this after reading so much about Jenine Shereos and how she knots hair and sews with it. By doing this it kept all the strands contained together where I could then just glue the hair to the board by this knot rather than having to try and make sure all the strands were glued on together and keep a consistency throughout that way.
