| This was quite an endeaver for me. I have always been interested in making my own masks, because I make all of my own costumes. Soo,, now I have the means to do it. The following are a few pictures at various stages of sculpting. I am not by any means an expert, since this is my first one, and I have alot yet to learn. |
 |
| I bought a mask making kit from MONSTER MAKERS This is the beginning stage.I started with some pictures of various facial features just to get some ideas. The clay I used is oil based, it doesnt dry out and is easy to work with. |
 |
| You can see some facial structure taking shape. By the way, I have never sculpted a face before, so this was a learn as you go project. |
 |
| I've added some eyebrows and some teeth to the mouth. In the final mask you can see I made alot of changes, and I still don't have the ears down yet. |

| The following pictures are the final mask sculpture. Unfortunately I ran out of time and the weather turned bad and I could'nt cast it. Casting is going to be a messy job and can't be done in the house, unless you have a special room for it. So when the weather breaks, I'll be out in the garage. In the following pages you will see pictures of my progress. |
| There is alot of great info out there to be had. Mark Alfrey has some videos about sculpting and casting. There are numerous web sites that sell supplies. You just have to do some internet digging. I have placed a few links on my home page. |
