More Masks

Some complete - on the black mask I have used just tissue paper while on the gold one I have also used newspaper and coloured foil. The tissue paper gives a better finish but several more layers.
These are works in progress. Chris said she uses gum strip for her masks which seems to be the stuff people seal cardboard boxes with. The pink mask is done with gum strip and is indeed very strong.

Papier-mâché Mask

Inspired by Chris's masks, I made and painted this one which itself is moulded on my own plaster face cast from 2007.
