Sophie worked for about a month to make real arms or legs.
The process of creating prosthetic devices begins with a mass of water bubbles to shape the clients' body shapes.After sculpting, Sophie used a mold to create silicon plates.The image shows that Sophie is peeling off the foot cover from the mold.
She uses silicon to create skin for prosthetics.They are colored to best suit the color of human skin.
Sophie spreads silicone sheets to create transparency like real leather.
When the skin is attached to the prosthetic device, other details will also be added.In the picture is the stage Sophie is forming fingernails and toenails.
She is very careful when coordinating the shape and color of her toenails.People can even paint on fake toenails.
Customers coming to Sophie 's studio will be able to record details of skin color, skin, freckles as well as precise limbs.
Sophie's work is quite detailed and detailed.Even the lines on the palm of the hand will be fake like every detail.
Sophie used special techniques with artificial hair to create feathers on the back of the fake arm.
Even the lines on the palm of the hand will be fake like every detail.
Even fake hands can wear rings easily.
The fake legs are completely identical, so it is difficult to tell the difference between them.Prosthetic leg (left) and true (right).
Sophie was working on creating prosthetics for three people with limbs.This will be a new future for those who unfortunately lost valuable parts.
