Plus-Size Pantyhose...

Over the weekend, I made it my mission to purchase as many supplies as I could to start "fleshing-out" the mannequin heads, both aesthetically and functionally for my installation. I purchased copper-mesh at Utrecht to create a grid of capacitance on the scalps (I will probably also have to run some hidden copper wire inside some of the strands of hair).

I also had to make a stop over at Big K to grab some pantyhose to place over the stark-white Styrofoam heads (at the suggestion of one of my classmates - I like the subtlety of this over painting the faces directly or leaving them white). I realized that the pantyhose had to be pretty wide to fit over the heads, and found myself in the plus-size section, seeking out the largest "Queen"-size pantyhose I could! I was disappointed to find, however, that there are only a few kinds (off-black, nude, tan) in almost every brand, and I wasn't going to start venturing into the expensive ones for this purpose. Despite it all, the pantyhose ended up looking pretty good on the mannequin heads!
