This is the second of three mask-making videos. In this series I’m making a traditional Pantalone mask using the same methods and materials that I used for the masks in my latest book, How to Make Masks! If you didn’t see the first video, you can find it here. We made the positive mold in the first video, and in this one I’ll show you how I add the two layers of paper mache. In the next video I’ll show you how I make the mask all nice and smooth with some home-made gesso, and paint it – just in time for Mardi Gras.
Just before we get to the video, though, I thought I’d ask if anyone out there happens to live anywhere near Brookings South Dakota? Odd question, I know – but Jessie will be moving there in a few weeks. Any advice for her?
And now…
My Second YouTube Video about How to Make a Paper Mache Mask:

You can find my books on amazon.com. They will be more than happy to mail them to you. You can find “Make Animal Sculptures with Paper Mache Clay” here, and you can find “How to Make Masks!” here. Thanks so much for asking.
Hi again, I noticed you said you use super sculpey. Could you tell me if this is the same type you use?

and if not where do you buy yours? Thanks so much!
I buy the beige (not firm) version, from DickBlick.com. They seem to have the best prices – but it’s still pretty expensive.
