http://mariemessina.blogspot.com/2012/03/just-quick-note.html

Working with My Hands. Tuesday, March 20, 2012. Just a Quick Note. To let you all know that I'm taking a bit of a break here this week. I haven't had much inspiration to get any work done as I got sick yet again with stomach flu last week and it has been taking me some time to get back to normal. As soon as I get my spunk back I'll continue the progress posts and tutorials! Thanks for Reading and Happy Creating! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Working with My Hands. Tuesday, October 21, 2014. It's been awhile: Making a Ludo Mask Part 2. This is part 2 of this post series - please check here. To see part 1 if you haven't already read it. Wow, it's certainly been a long time! Over 2 years later, and I'm picking up this mask and continuing where I left off. While I did focus on painting for awhile, I've since found myself in quite a rut with it and so I'm diving back into masks. I also sold my Jareth. Back to the matter at hand: Ludo! One thing I...

Sierra's Blog: May 2012

http://sierrabenson.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Monday, May 21, 2012. I despise the word good. Everything about this word from the meaning of it, the way our mouth has to move when we say it, straight down to the way it looks when its spelled out. This word is my enemy. We all have our pet peeves. Mine is anything. That is 'good.' Especially when I feel like something I've done or created is just flat out good. Uhhhhh. It's peeving me to write this. To do something good. Is a complete waste of time. We must strive for greatness.". Barrier that I own, ...

Working with My Hands: Making A Rhesus Monkey Inspired Mask

http://mariemessina.blogspot.com/2012/03/making-rhesus-monkey-inspired-mask.html

Working with My Hands. Tuesday, March 6, 2012. Making A Rhesus Monkey Inspired Mask. I made the mask out of Sculpey polymer clay and referenced a picture of a Rhesus monkey skull (above) and just built it up from scratch on my face armature. The ear canal areas on both sides of the mask were a bit tricky to pull off with something as soft as sculpey but I managed. All that's left is to attach it the head for wearing! Thanks for Reading and Happy Creating! I also love a comment! View my complete profile.

Working with My Hands: March 2012

http://mariemessina.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Working with My Hands. Friday, March 23, 2012. How to Use Plaster Wrap Cloth for Mask Making. Because of this, I'll add in some basic instructions to go along with it. In my video I used a cardboard frame (see this post for details : http:/ mariemessina.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-to-make-cardboard-frame-for-mask.html. But you can also create one off of your face or on an armature. The bottom line is you need some sort of support for the plaster wrap to lay on before it dries. A plate (paper is fine). 3 Set...

Working with My Hands: Revisiting the Labyrinth: Making a Ludo Mask Part 1

http://mariemessina.blogspot.com/2012/03/revisiting-labyrinth-making-ludo-mask.html

Working with My Hands. Tuesday, March 13, 2012. Revisiting the Labyrinth: Making a Ludo Mask Part 1. What is it about the Labyrinth that just gets my creative juices flowing? It might be that I watched this movie so much as a child and therefore a lot of the creatures formed this basis in my brain for creativity and creation. Foremost, it seems all of Henson's characters in the Labyrinth, aside from the humans, would make good masks! A Firey (Chilly Down)? The horn getting ready to be baked. I would find...
