I suddenly decided to make myself an orgonite helmet for my meditation, and in case it's confortable enough (which I doubt) for my sleep even.
I had this idea long time ago when I read about the psionic helmet by Cosimano.
I don't plan on making it usable for radionic boxes for the moment. I just want it as an aid for my own healing and as a complementary energy source for amplifiying my thoughts.
When I first thought of building this, I decided I didn't want to use a ready helmet for this purpose, as these don't exactly fit. So at first I devised of doing it by means of using a swimming cap and gluing a mixture of paper napkins, glue and water, then let dry. But this had the disadvantage that it takes way too long to dry, you cannot remove it in the process and can stain quite a bit.
Now I just thought I'd do this by layering several cuts of cardboard along my head and using tape to fix them in place. I used a swimming cap to protect my hair from the tape.
The result so far is far from good, anti-crafty as I am, but at this point I'm still thinking I could do it to the end. So I'll let you know how it goes
(Planned) Instructions:
1. Cut 4 pieces of cardboard alongside. They should be around 5cm (2 inches) wide, 50cm (20 inches) long.
2. Roll these pieces around your fingers, to make them easy to adapt to the shape of your head.
3. Put on a swimming cap to protect your hair if you like.
4. Take the tape, take one piece of cardboard, stick the tape to one of the ends. Carefully place the middle of the piece on your forehead...
Honestly, now I'm looking at it and I don't think I did it that way. I think I started with the piece that goes from the forehead, through the top of the head to the back of the neck. I don't recall, sorry I don't have strength. But you can figure this out by looking at the pictures. I'll update this instructions sometime.

n. Once you have the basic shape of the head, fill the gaps with more cardboard.
n+1. Cover the outside with foil.
n+2. Stick little pieces of cardboard along the edges, perpendicular. They should protrude outwards. This is meant to form a little wall to contain the resin, so make sure there are no gaps.
n+3. Place the helmet one side up. Determine where you need to put more of these little barriers so that the resin won't fall. Proceed likewise with every side, except of course the inner one.
n+4. Prepare the resin, mix with the metal chips. Pour on one of these sides. Place a small crystal that will fit. Optionally, when the resin is viscous enough you can remove the little barriers if you like before it's completely dry.
n+5. Once the resin is dry, proceed like in n+4 for the rest of the delimited zones.
n+6. At this point you should (hopefully) be able to remove the cardboard shape off the helmet. The helmet should feel a little bit more loose than the carboard piece felt, and heavier.
At this point I only have the basic shape of the helmet. See the pictures:

I have covered the holes in the helmet. It still has some gaps, but this should be enough to withstand the foil. It looks ugly as it is. I hope the end result will look better, but that is not much of a concern. It feels too tight. Possibly I should have started the basic shape more loose, cause it gets tighter as you attach more pieces. Well, as long as the end product will fit me I don't care much. Now I need to cover it with foil. I hope the resin will stick to the foil good enough so it won't wear off:

I'll be updating this post, correcting the instructions and uploading more pictures as I progress.
