I created the padded look in the same way as the previous post, the only difference is that I crimped the whole head because I was going to use all of the hair on the padding, instead of leaving the bottom section down. It turned out quite successful (shown below) - I managed to get all of the hair around the prop, and it was all very secure. The only thing I would change is that I would ideally like it to be slightly tighter in some areas, e.g. you can see a loop at the bottom where the hair is too loose. Also, if I feel I could have positioned the prop higher up on the head, so as to create more of a heart shape. Although, for a first attempt, I was quite satisfied, and think I would get the hang of it with more practice, because initially I found it quite difficult.
I then decided to try something slightly more modern that featured a contemporary twist (in relation to our final brief). So I came up with this...
The way I created this is by, instead of pinning the curls at the front of the padding, I lightly stretched them all the way over the padding and gripped them in at the back. This created a caged effect, which I actually really liked because it almost looked like a headpiece, caul or an alternative to any hair accessories that the Elizabethan's may have worn. I also left a few curls in at the front for decoration and to frame the face.
If I was to take this idea forward I would consider leaving curls down at the back/sides, instead of the front, to act as tendrils.
