I don't mind at all! I use several different methods for my masks, depending on what kind I'm making. For my first mask (the werewolf costume), I followed missmonster's instructable here.

Currently, I'm experimenting with a style of mask that incorporates paper mache (with brown grocery bags and wallpaper paste), spackle, and lots of sanding and paint. That's how I made my Sokka mask. With all my masks, I usually add some natural elements like fur, horsehair, or bones. My newer masks have eyes made out of resin, a method I actually adopted from fursuiting practices: video here.

Hope that helps!

Of course! Thanks for inviting me to post, I haven't used Live Journal in ages but I just may have to start again (that group looks awesome). I'd love to check out your Tumblr, could you send me the link to it?

You can also find images of my masks on my Tumblr and website.

Thanks for your interest!

Thanks! Your Red Dead work is fabulous!
