Evaluation of making our masks

We first researched masks that we could create or make our own.

The first step of putting cling-film on the template mask and actually putting the paper mache on it, we had to wait till next friday to start painting and decorating. When we began painting and cutting our masks it became harder, especially when making the mask equal.

I wish i used a template so it would be the right shape.

The only decoration was the ribbon and the two feathers, and silver and black paint,cutting out the eyes was hard getting them equal. After the paint had dried i made holes for the ribbon it was easy to put the ribbon through and tie it. The feathers were hard to stick down so i put paper mache over it,by next friday it still hadn't worked so i put sellotape over it and tried to sew the pink feather in place,after sewing i pushed it down more and it finally stayed strong in place.

I might use this technique again unless i fine on i can with better.

If i had to redo my mask i would go for something more complicated and take more care so it gives me more of a challenge and it might turn out better if i take more care with detail, even though i had a simple mask and i didn't have to do much i rushed the eyes a bit and messed them up.

It was rather easy to do this process and i am rather happy with the end product.
