Description:
Make a paper mache 'DEATH mask' either with your own face or with a balloon as instructed: http://familycrafts.about.com/od/papermache/a/plmaskcraft.htm This is not an actual 'death mask' that is filled with plaster, but an outline of a face decorated to wear or hang. There will be no limits or correct ways of making your mask. It is a free interpretation of anythng you would like to receive. As long as it is paper mache and made by you. Super easy! When is the last time you whipped up some paper mache paste? (instructions for that also on the website.) Below a 4.8 off limits this time. Flakers will be exposed at the DUNCE CORNER so beware. I will be checking profiles. C'mon, make a mask!

I would need more time to create than 15 days. I'm a slow poke and PM takes a while to dry. I've always wanted to make one of these!

redsockz 07/26/2009 #

You can start making this now! That would give you many more days. :)

AAAHHH balloons! I have a phobia of balloons! I'll think about it @RyeRye Maybe it's just what I need to overcome my fear.

Come on guys! Join! Did Ned agree to that or is that why its taking so long? lol!

RyeRye 07/27/2009 #

He absolutely flat refused me! Turd. I used a ballon and built up features with those plastic grocer bags and taped it on.
I also set it under my portable hair dryer and it worked great! Sooooo Myrr, I started it this afternoon and I will be able to sand and paint it tmrw! HINT HINT!

Somebody post a photo of what is going on with your creation so I can get (steal) an idea. No, I really do need a clue. About this swap, as well.

I can't post a photo....as it is almost DONE now! I can create another form as post a pic of that if you like?

You know, I did this in 8th grade for a project (oddly enough, I was the only one!), and I have a picture of the process I wouldn't mind posting. I don't have a picture of the finished product (or have it in my possession at all! the 6th graders wanted it as a raffle prize! =P), but I think you get a pretty good idea from the one I have!

Did you post the picsture on your site? I'd luv to see it!

jadedmama 07/29/2009 #
