Using the second of several blank mask forms I made for myself ages ago, this one with a 'winged' shape, I covered it in feathers using hot glue, and for no explainable reason stuck a spider in the middle:
I really think hot glue spider webbing is in order now. Just covered in webbiness.
Background, for those of you who are new and the others of you who (understandably) dont memorize my every post:
Awhile back I made about five blank mask templates out of paper mache. More information about where I found the blank and what I did is here, but the essential 'how to' is that I used a paper cut-out duplicated several times on newsprint, took advice from Stolloween's site on what kind of mache paste ingredients he uses and made my own recipe, layered the newsprint masks on top of one another covered in mache paste, and let them dry on top of a styrofoam dummy head so they'd have a nice mask shape. Simple and cheap, right?The first result of that night's efforts was the Long-Nosed, Faux-Venetian mask. This is the second mask. Less involved, but really light and comfortable to wear.
The feathered mask is tied on with black ribbon. It tickles my nose when I breath in, but it's so delightfully soft!
Another of these same mask templates is in process of becoming a stick mask with a witch's face. This is my first experiment with making my own paper mache clay. Hope it ends well! So far, so fun.
