Thread: Three foot skull stone mask

Tweet

Hey just thought I post these Pic's as a Tutorial

The mask started as a poultry wire frame made with one inch hole wire,
The next step was to stuff it with Newspaper for some backing then use masking tape over the mask and covered the surface with Duct tape
A couple other projects (I'll post ) sittin' in the background



The mask had three layers of paper mache (one part white glue,two parts water ,two parts cheep flour).Tear your paper in as large a piece as you can use (6"x8" or 3"x8"for most projects ...but larger for this one.I like to brush paste onto armature and apply paper -then for spots needing extra strength I brush paste onto half the sheet of paper then fold and apply paste and paper to the piece.



The teeth are card board ,hot glued then Duct tape applied to fill some spaces (edges) to smooth out .





more paste and paper.........a complete coat of glue paste dried the painted a first coat soon to be stone look !!



MORE TO COME SOON
