Abstract

A three-dimensional image, which can be the face of a person, or other image having: a base, a picture module formed of flexible picture material bearing thereon a picture-making coating which latter is imprinted thereon in duplication from a photograph by known methods, the picture-module being attached to the forward side of the base and such forward side having a shape complementary to the picture coating as is accomplished by the method of this invention which is sculpting the material which makes the forward side of the base while such material is flexible and before heating it, the shaping of the moldable material being done by pressure exerted on and through the module as guided visually by the picture-making coating which latter can be accomplished by human sculpturing skill whereby the picture module is also sculpted into a new shape and complementary to the sculpted base. An alternative to the use of moldable and bakable material being to form the shape of the face by use of stitching to gather into protruding portions a stitchable flexible material, such stitching being done through such a module with its picture-coating as the guide. The image can be the face of a being having a voice and a voice-recording player assembly can be mounted on the face image which contain the voice of the same being. The face image can be made from three photographs taken from the front, right and left sides and lapped to register with one another at the corners of the respective eyes whereby not only the front but the sides of the picture module become sculpted.
