Mask - Blog Posts
Inspired by The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang and my general love of phoenixes. My 7th grade art class assignment was to create a symbolic mask, so my phoenix represents the rebirth of our world surviving the pandemic and rising stronger than before the world went up in flames. (But actually I just really wanted to make a phoenix so that’s the official excuse.)

A dance with you
A maiden in black with a mask on her face. She looked around seeing if anyone matched the description of her date
But of course all of them were wearing masks
She sighed grabbing a cookie from the table,that's when a man with slicked back hair approached her
"What's a flower like you doing on your own?" She looked over and was startled to see someone talking to her
"I'm waiting for a date..but I guess he forgot." The man scoffed in disgust
"Who would leave an angel like you alone? If I meet this man,I'll beat him to a pulp!" He yelled
"No! It's fine! I'll just be going home."
"Already?"
"Yeah..I'm not too good at dancing anyways."
The woman was about to leave but the man grabbed her hand,"but may I have a chance to dance with you?"
She blushed,"I..I dunno..I don't want to make a fool of myself." "Don't worry-"
He pulled her into the dance floor
"Just follow my lead."
The woman took one step then the next as the man moved. She seemed to be getting the hang of it
"If I may ask. What name do you go by?" "My name is Elora Silverman,what name do you go by?" "Charled Metze the third."
"Wow. Are you from some sort of rich family?"
"You bet."
"Wow.."
The night goes on with the two not breaking the dance they got set up
Even when the dance was done,they still didn't go far without each other
They drank punch and talked about family and other topics
But soon Elora's ride was there
"Ah shoot. Well,this has been fun Sir Charles the third."
"It has been Miss Elora Silverman."
She turned around but was stopped
"May I see your face before you go so I know what you look like?"
Elora smiled and removed the silver mask
Charles looked in awe at her face
"See you around." She said running out and into her car
The man held her heart and smiled finally finding,'The one'

✝️ Bare: A Pop Opera is one of my absolute favorite musicals and its currently celebrating its 20th anniversary. To celebrate, I wanted to share some of the Bare art I’ve done so far!
🏳️🌈 Based on the 2013 L.A. production
worked on this all afternoon to get it ready to post, some more changes to the weathering may be needed but, what do you guys think?
if anyone is curious on the supplies im using im very big on being affordable and cheap and depending on the project i will use "plaster of paris" and gauze/cheese cloth and dollarstore paint
for my current project, the king baldwin mask, i was lucky enough to find a very odd 3d render of the mask to get printed, i am now sculpting over that base layer with crayola air-dry clay
i hope this inspires some to start creating with the materials they have on hand or can buy cheaply :)

This idea came from Halloween day 2020, and I brainstormed possible ideas Oct/Nov 2020. This whole endeavor was inspired by seeing articulated finger extensions on youtube.
This took a lot of time. There were quite a lot of lulls, but days upon days of work went into this. I didn't start taking progress pictures until ~October 2021, so a lot of the process just lives in my head.
By far the most difficult part of the project was figuring out the template for the crow mask itself. I knew of the whole wrap a body part in clingwrap and then duct tape to get a template, which I did around my head to get the inner headpiece, but that only works for fitted things.
I did a whole bunch of tomfoolery over gr10 winter break to get around this. I make like a paper mockup of my head, and then I built off of it with paper tubes to get general shape and structure of the crow mask down. This took so long omfg. I wish I'd taken a picture. I made a huge mess of the house for weeks over the break as I slaved over this stupid shite. Once i'd gotten it,,, it was just like,,,, kinda rudimentarily figuring out what size the foam pieces would be 😭
It worked out eventually, but man was it annoying 💀
I don't think I worked on it much after that until sept/oct 2021. Beginning of october was the final rush because I really wanted it done for the halloween.
When gluing together the pieces, I didn't have any barge contact cement so it was a struggle. Initially I was using a contact cement, but it didn't work well with the EVA foam, and I found that I was able to just pull the glue off once it'd become tacky (wouldn't even damage the foam - was just laying on top of it). So I used a lot of superglue and... other types of glue I can't remember to force em together.
Used a dremel tool and foam clay to smoothen the seams and add more details.
Magnets are embedded in the jaw for movement and to hold the jaw in place. Initially, I wanted the lower jaw to move up and down as I move my jaw, but I never figured out a way to get the torque to achieve that (and it was too late to go down that rabbit hole once i'd realised that the jaw wasn't working as I'd hoped).
Painting was a couple layers of mod podge followed by acrylic paint and then a couple sealing coats of varnish.
Teeth were made out of peachy-coloured polymer clay and glued into the mouth after it was painted. They were used to mould the foam clay gums prior to painting.
Then it was done!

Wait this was supposed to be the first post??? I didn't get around to cleaning it up until ~3 weeks after I'd queued up all of the tumblr posts 😭
Ig I'll see how making the post date in the past works >:)
Anyways what I can remember of the prompt was that we were supposed to make masks that represent a specific emotion. We were in pairs and I did it with my friend.
Making it out of wood was not a requirement, but I'd gotten it in my head and I knew my dad wld be able to cut the wood for me 😋I made a paper mockup, and then my dad took care of cutting and gluing together the pieces. Two masks were made, one for my friend and one for me.
iirc, the emotion I was going for was happiness, but it really doesn't read that way. There used to be paper fluff stuff hanging from the back, but the birds ate that stuff up. They also bit a whole bunch of chunks into it 😭
I don't remember what happened for it to break that badly. Prolly fell
Acrylic paint on wood.
could we possibly see donna in either a gas mask or plague doctor mask? also love the daily donna! youre doing great keep it up friend!!!!!
Or
I do not like this photo 😰
Also thank you for your kind words 😝
Day 55 of drawing Donna until she gets put into Fortnite
Taking requests to keep it going
i made an anglerfish sculpture for school it took a few weeks of me working on it for a few hours everyday but holy heck i actually finished it it also serves as a semi-functional mask
the process involved trecking through a hell made of paper-mache while sacrificing many packets of air-dry clay and half a bottle of black paint and i'm not entirely sure that it was worth it but i'm still proud.
