Hi all!
I'm currently putting together a mask for Halloween. It's a demon skull thingy ma bobber. I'm using WED Clay, plaster, silicone, crystal clear, urethane, and vaseline to do it.

The WIP is here on my web album. http://picasaweb.google.com/KatyHargrove1/HalloweenMask2009#



*Update*
More photos in album. I just cracked open the mother mold and pulled out the sculpt.


*Update 2*
Project complete!

Very interesting!  It looks good enough to be a movie prop.

Also - gotta love those technical terms!

[goosezilla]

Glad to hear you guys are enjoying the design and the process! I'll keep updating the album as work progresses. I'm going to cast the head and then sculpt some horns next. This weekend is looking like a lot of fun work.

[PrincessProcrastination]

That's really well done! I love the amount of detail 

[Dragonflower]

That is incredibly awesome and creepy. I'm in the line waiting to see the finished project.

[minouette]

Ooh! That's awesome. Can't wait to see the finished product. 

[Delectably Deviant]

Wow, that's freakin' sweet.

What is the kind of clay that you used?

[lovesclutter]

Can the mother mold be reused? That is so detailed. Great work.

[Mibismogger]

That is freakishly epic! I wish I could make masks like that, or really masks at all 

[goosezilla]

Wow, that's freakin' sweet.

What is the kind of clay that you used?

It's WED clay, developed by Disney. Stays wet longer so I don't have to stress out about cracking in the clay. It's not that expensive and is super creamy. This site carries it:http://www.burmanfoam.com/estore/home.php?cat=42

Can the mother mold be reused? That is so detailed. Great work.

Yep, everything here is set up so I can make an army of these guys. I hold the mother mold together with giant rubber bands while casting.
