making a mask
« on: March 27, 2007, 09:50:24 pm »
does anyone have any idea where I can get some good supplies to make one? Prom at fghs is a masquerade this year and seeing as though there is a deep pain in my wallet (haha yeah, THANX a TON senior year)... I guess I can see it as a preparation for college... surviving off of ramen for a whole four years xD
... wait... are there tutorials on this riff-raff too? xP
I luvs me some basic instructions... =B

dude, thats awesome, if my prom had been a masque i might have gone instead of going to a play at pcc that night.  


anyway,  ummmm what are you trying to do.  a good base thats kinda cheap is ahh, plastered gause, and you can like...lay it on your face while its wet and then be very still till its dry then clean it up and cover it with tissue paper or something.


you can allso buy very basic masks at costume shops, we could swing buy one sometime when were working on your project it you want.
and then you can make them more fancy from there. i once made a mask (from a prebought base) that was a bunch of dry leaves that i then shelacked.  kinda a green man kinda thing.


you can also made a positive form a plaster cast of your face from paper pulp, but its not QUITE as strong.  but you can get pretty strong if egg cartons are involved.

i guess i could give more specific help if i knew what you were trying to make happen.  :P

Glasses and an artificial eye? I wish I knew her myspace account, but I never go there.

She's going to be in Joseph this year.

then I probably know her fairly well, or I WILL know her pretty darn well because I'm doing tech for the musical =3
backstage all the way! I love that gang >=D
....
....... oh wait! I DO KNOW HER xD
she's a funny gal, if she's the rachel I'm thinking about. Was she in the fall play??? If so, I know her and have helped her out backstage a few times =D
and I was in the fall play with her, even though I was only the murderer's stunt double xD
