A smiling me after getting the bald cap placed over my hair, which was tied back as far as possible.
It was so hard to contain my excitement and not smile!
This is Tom working the alginate downwards, starting from my forehead. The alginate felt like refrigerated pancake batter.
I held the bowl of alginate mixture on my lap so it was easier for Tom.
Like a trooper, he saved my nostrils for last. Glad I stopped by the store to purchase some nasal spray and make sure I could breathe without effort through my nostrils.
More goop!!
Applying bandages which were soaked in salted water:
Tadah! The alginate with bandages drying on top of my face. Don't remember how long it all took. We got there at 11 AM, chatted for a bit and then started the mold process. We didn't leave until 1 PM.
And this is a smiling me, still feeling thrilled from the wonderful experience of it all. I would do it again and again. Nothing claustrophobic or freaky about it. The relaxing mood music helped, and Dan explaining that if at any time I freaked out at all, I was free to rip off the stuff from my face. That did not happen, as I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.
