I have five faces and i need six? Any ideas as to how i should make it?

Find a magazine with photos faces in it, and take an eye from one, an eye from another, lips from another person, etc, you know what I mean? Or with string stuck on some card, then foil pressed over it.

Wow that sounsd like a great project! You could maybe do a clay mould of your own face?? It would be cool! X

Have you considered making a face out of wire or sheet metal like copper? I worked with wire and copper for my art project ... you can get really nice colours out of it if you heat it up over a candle. Or use a drawing or picture with other materials over the top, fittin into the pattern ... like metals, threads (you could try embroidering or using a sewing machine), seashells, stones, leaves, and so on. Or use some cosmetics to paint a face on paper. You said you already tried collage ... I don't know how they do those things with heaps of faces making up one big face but it's really effective ... for example: http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.democracyforwisconsin.org/img/Faces_Of_Our_Dead_Small.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.democracyforwisconsin.org/faces.htm&h=700&w=522&sz=156&hl=en&start=10&tbnid=ZXHx3l74-64w-M:&tbnh=140&tbnw=104&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dfaces%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den (I'm not makin a political statement ... it was just the first one I found!) This is good too: http://www.snarksmith.com/images/pope(big).jpg That's all I can think of at the minute!

hey bebendum.... you've pretty much got it covered, sounds good.... i'm trying to think outside the box here..... what about using paint or charcoal, cover your face in it and then press against a very wet piece of handmade watercolour paper or cloth etc. or maybe get an appropriate image onto photoshop and distort the hell out of it...... all the best..

If you know any very young children,let them draw it for you,like a four year,if you can get hold of a projector,project the image onto the face of the artist and photograph that.The projected image could be digital,or if you have an old projector,make a slide out of clear plastic,drawn on with acetate markers.

You could do it on plain paper with stitching, i have used this as an illustration method before. You can do a line drawing of the face then stitch over the lines. it is very simple but effective, best to use a sewing machine if you can as it looks better with a nice even stitch. Although it sounds like it is going to be quite big so maybe cotton thread wont be thick enough to see, so you would perhaps use wool. It is quite a nice effect if you are quite minimal and just do the bare minimum of lines ( line drawing) etc to make the face recognisable but again this may not go with the style of the rest of the faces so you may wish to do it in more of an embroidery style. Alternatively, a mixture of these styles may work... or you could seperate the face into light, dark and midrange sections. do this by tracing over a photo of the face and visually seperating it into sections. then cut out the dark sections ( made by shadows, pupils of eyes etc) do this in dark coloured paper and stick into place, cut out the light sections ( whites of eyes and highlights, teeth etc) in light paper and stick in place and the midrange sections can just be in a shade between the light and dark or try some newspaper. the sections on their own will look a bit craggy and weird but once they ar all stuck into place it will create a recognisable face ( i once did this of GWB and Tony Blair!) Experiment and see what looks best. Good Luck

You have used bits of mirror, how about a full mirror, bowl of water or anything else that reflects, but force the viewer to be in the situation where they can only see their own face. Let us know what you decide
