Wire vs stitches

I spent the week making samples of sinamay faces with expressions using wire and stitches. The wire expressions came out slightly simpler then the stitched ones but I could remover the wire easier. The main downfall of the wire hold was it made bigger holes in the sinamay then the stitches which isn’t aesthetically pleasing. The stitched faces can be more expressionate however the stitches are harder to remover and the expressions have a bigger risk of falling out while its drying.

The white face has a slightly smiling mouth and upturned eyebrows, where as the blue face that I did with wire I could only get a vague representation of eyebrows and not much else.
