Hey Schreck,

The base masks are made from a paper pulp. They have a very fine fibre, a smooth surface on the outside and are very rigid.

The ones I bought also had cutting guides for popular shapes molded into the interior surface.

Have search online, you might find something from a craft supplier. I got mine from: http://www.masquerade.co.nz/

Cheers, Tony.

These masks are absolutely brilliant. My company Xmas do is going to have a ball theme and I, never one to go at things half-hearted, would love to create a mask like one of those above. If you could send me some more detailed instructions that would be great. It may be beyond me but I won’t know till I try.

Thanks and much appreciated

Glen

Hi Steve,
The “Structure Gel” is an acrylic painting product made by Pebeo. You can use it to bulk up your acrylic paints or build up texture on your art.
It remains flexible when dry – one of the reasons I chose it for the masks.
Most art supply stores should stock it or something similar. There are rigid drying products available also, along with gels you can add texturising matter to like sand etc.
