My last three posts included something about face masks made with Rigid Wrap. Two of the posts were actually about my grandkids visits during which we made masks of their faces. The other post is a set of instructions for making the masks. With so much posted about masks, I thought I'd show you one more of the ones I've made using this technique.
I had forgotten about this mask until the granddaughters pointed it out in a showcase in my house. This mask won first place in a conference artifact competition at Darlapalooza a few years back. The mask of my face was built by my friend and artist extraodinaire, Molly Campbell. Of course, I decorated it for the contest. Because the theme of the conference was Arty Gras, I used acrylic paint hues, collage images, and found objects representing things indigenous to New Orleans and Mardi Gras.
Below are some other views of the mask, some with more detail of the images used in collage. Click on any image to see a larger view.
