But, I do have a couple of improvments/suggestions. #1 If you dont like the smell then you can use brown sugar or cinnamon to fix it #2 you can use regular box cardboard, that comes from UPS, for your papier-mache mold and #3 If anyone wants to know whats measurements to use I used anywhere from 1/2 cup to 1 whole cup flour and same amount for the water. But besides that your instructions came in VERY good use!!!!! :) Hey I read your instructions and really got a better understanding of how to do Papier-Mache.

I've managed to make a sandman mask with a spine (using also a gas mask)! http://picasaweb.google.com/zielarze.pl/Nordcon2010#5549163339990241890 http://picasaweb.google.com/derkaczpiotr/Makingof?authkey=Gv1sRgCNCQ9t-Vl43fUg#5540243132774108466 Thanks for a great recipe.

How thick was the clay? Is it possible that it was so thin that it tears when you try to take it off the form? (It's hard to know exactly what's happening when I can't look over your shoulder.) :) I’ve used both masking tape and plastic tape, and both of them worked. How thick was the clay?

Did you let your clay dry completely? Or did bits of the tape get stuck under the clay, perhaps?

I was delighted to find your site & I've spent some time making a few of the masks - I even made the paper mache clay with linseed oil etc... I would like to ask you about taking the paper - or the clay off the "form" - I tried to put tape on the form, so the dried paper or clay would come away from the form, but I simply was not successful. I had to kind of rip it away & start a bit from scratch. I'm determined to get great results & I feel like you're showing some awesome tips and recipes and directions - I totally appreciate that, it's very inspirational! A few more pointers, for me, about peeling the paper or clay away from the form (after it's dried) would be very very helpful. Thanks so much! Karin Hello Jonni!

Is there any way you could cut the bottom of the mask so it fits over the shoulders? Or would that put the eye holes too low? Hi Coleen.

Any ideas how to use a full mask out of a 24 inch balloon. We have it completed and cannot figure out an easy way to stabilize it on my boy's shoulders. He will only be wearing it for about 10 minutes. It has breathing and eye site holes. It wobbles alot - even on mine when it just fits over my head. I need this in less than 36 hours so your ideas would be greatly appreciated. Great Mask! Any ideas how to use a full mask out of a 24 inch balloon.

Can you attach one or two to a comment below? This mask page would be the best place to put them. Yes, we would love to see them. Can you attach one or two to a comment below?
