The Hood - Book 2
The most extensive manual on latex hood making.
Book 1 - demonstrates how we can draft a made-to-measure hood pattern.
It then offers ideas on how we might adapt the pattern to produce alternative designs as well as embellish and decorate them.
It also explores techniques on working with latex sheeting and how the hood is constructed.
Book 2 - again demonstrates how we can draft a slightly different made-to-measure hood pattern.
The rest of the manual examines more deeply how we may alter aspects of the hood such as eye openings, different neck types as well as how we may adapt the pattern to produce countless different styles. Other than alterations for style and fit the manual provides at least 60 different varieties of hoods.
