Images 1-4, This 25 year old foam latex prosthetic appliance was designed,
sculpted and applied by World Famous Makeup Artist, Joe Blasco,
for "The Werewolf of Woodstock".
The foam itself had become quite brittle
to touch and was in need of restoration. Mr. Blasco chose
professional make-up artist Larry Bones to tackle this challenge. |

After all the old crepe wool had been removed from the appliance,
caster oil was applied to the foam to recondition it so that
it could be applied to a generic foam and latex head without
damaging it.
The forehead and upper snout is seen applied
here. A mixture of Pro-aide and Cabosil was used to begin
the patching process. The mixture was used to resculpt missing
parts of the appliance and to blend off the edges onto the
head form. |
