With layer 2 of old book mâché now drying, it is time to size up subtle details like ears and eyes, before adding another five or six layers over the next few days. I feel this chap should also have false teeth, or maybe a mustache? It’ll be a half mask, so the accessory parts needs to be able to be spoken around, as well as offering a performer good vision.
A while back I ran away from a twentymumble-year corporate career to be a feckless art student. Since then I've dirtied my hands with, metaphorically and/or literally, bronze and ceramic sculpture, photography, and digital and traditional illustration. Mask making was one discovery, dovetailing with my interests in teaching and performing improvised theatre.
