School today was focussed on using our previously created pieces on each other, trying to perfect our colours and blending edges into the skin. Sounds easy, doesn't it. I didn't get time to apply a gelatine piece yesterday, so I got straight into giving Chanel a 'witches nose'. I wasn't entirely happy with my blended edges, but I think I did a pretty good colour job on it. The way I see it, is if I get everything right first time, I won't have learnt anything. ...

Extremely hungover today. Out of bed very late, but still at school on time. It would seem I bought a pair of 'Mastodon' hot-pants from the show last night. I woke up wearing them. I don't remember this bit at all. More casting today, as well as learning how to create pros-aide transfers. We need at least 6 pieces for the duration of this week (2 silicone, 2 gelatine and 2 pros-aide). I've managed to knock out 9 so I'm well sorted. The afternoon was time for s...

First day of November. You know what that means. Stupid looking facial hair for a month. School started with sculpting wounds on a flat surface we'd use for creating a tin-sil mould, which we'd then make pros-aide transfers from. With me? Once they were done, we mixed our own tin-sil to pour in. We were informed that touching these chemicals in an uncured state, could cause infertility… which is nice. Leaving them to dry, we then started mixing our own gel...

I really struggled to wake up this morning, as though I was still attached to the bed. I'm not sure why this only happens on weekdays, and not at the weekend. Perhaps a night in tonight. The morning kicked off with a demo from Kevin Brennan (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2046212/), who's worked on some of my personal favourite films, on creating a gel filled appliance. I've done this before, but I enjoy it, and where I've not done it for a while, it was great to ...

Sunday seems to be the only day I get to watch football in recent weeks, so I was looking forward to catching up wit the LA Spurs crew at the Fox and Hounds for the game at home to QPR. Unfortunately, I couldn't get myself to wake up in time and rather than miss the first half to try and get there, I decided to stream the game from home again. This also meant I could watch it whilst I was in bed. I'd obviously forgotten that the UK clocks were put back overnigh...
