PROTOTYPE
Prototype is the execution of idea, to develop and create or build the toy or the object of play using the materials selected. The prototyping and development of the built toy should involve
modifications, amendments, and improvements.
In Prototype, I combined laughing beard with two-sided hat to proceed.
MAKING THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS
As I mentioned in my define, thus I didn't make any changes for facial expressions. To make it more simple and aesthetic, I choose a more cartoon style to design the senses.
MAKING THE LAUGHING BEARD
At first without the facial expression, I think it was a bit messy. After adding the mouths, it's a 'wow' for me as I think it was quite successful in both presentable purpose and functionable purpose. Hence, enjoy shaking your head until you get every mouths off from the beard! XD
MAKING TWO-SIDED HAT
Building this two-sided hat is really challenging, because I couldn't find a better way to afford the weight of the tissue cores. After some questioning with my family members, I get a thicker headband from my next-door neighbour's child to ensure the headband is stable and will not topple down.
MODIFICATION 1
After gluing the layers of empty tissue rolls, I've found that it's too plain in colour thus I add some colour onto it to show the face of everday and face of real and also for beautify purpose.
MODIFICATION 2
In ideation, I have proposed the idea of tying the string into the tissue core, but the hat is too heavy and the string is not enough to afford the weigh of hat, thus I questioned my siblings for ideas and they asked me to try for a headband. However, I couldn't find a thick headband instead of a thin headband. Thus, I seek some help from my next-door neighbour and get the headband in picture above.
MODIFICATION 3
In Ideation, I planned to have only 2 layers of tissue core. However, I have found it doesn't look like a hat, thus I add one more layer of tissue core underneath.
