The Collar
 |
| This is the prototype of the collar. It is not as well made or as full as the real ones are going to be but you get the idea of how it is going to look. |
 |
| This is one of the collars that will be used in the carnival. The children will be wearing purple tie dye t-shirts underneath which I feel will look really effective. |
The Heads
 |
| To make the heads I had to vac-form the moulds I made from plasterzote. I also formed an eye on each sheet as well to attach to the Kraken heads at a later date. |
 |
| I cut the shapes of the heads and added a spiky center line to make the halves easier to attach and to aid the design. However I do not think the shape of the spikes are effective enough so on the heads being used in the carnival I will re think the shape of the spikes. |
 |
| This is the revised shape of my Kraken heads. I think this shape works much better than the one I did on the original prototype. |
 |
| These are some of the Kraken half heads. You can see the shape of the spikes are much more effective. |

| This is how the heads will be decorated. The children will decorate the heads with poster paint, puff binder and cable ties. I would also like to use split pins to decorate the heads but they are not on my prototype as the school are providing those. |
Overall I am really pleased with the way my costumes are going to turn out. My prototype is not as successful as I would like it to be but through trial and error I think the actual costumes will look great. However I think that even though the prototype is not that reflective of the actual costumes I think you can get the general idea of how it is going to look. I wish I would have made the prototype look better for hand in but I thought my time has been better spent making the actual costumes and I did not have the funds to keep re creating the prototype.
