What better way to get a headform than to make it from your own!

So, it's difficult trying to create patterns off of my own head without suffocating myself and Dan doesn't have the patience to do it for me, so I'm creating a replica of my head to pattern the head piece off of.

Cardboard frame (yes, I did put my head upside down on the floor to trace it):

And then covered it with expanding foam!

I did this a couple days ago and I just foam the bottom half my head just now.  Tomorrow when it's dry I'll carve it =P

Then, the plan is to use that to make my pattern both for the skull cap thing itself, and the large protrusion things that are part of the helmet.  The balloon/bag method wasn't working out too well for me =(
