Mask making

 When I was a kid I got into making papier mâché masks for a while. With my strange surge of interest in making physical art (WTF!), I've been thinking about masks again. I'd love to make some masks again, maybe even leading to other stuff. I'm wondering about the (largely discredited) 5 stages of grief - a mask for anger, a mask for bargaining, a mask for acceptance etc

For now, I've started making the base for a mask which I might turn into a sort of 'death eater' mask because it's fun, lower stakes, and I can work on all the problems first:

So far I've bent sculpting mesh around my face to give the basic shape (that stuff cuts you like a bastard) and then applied a single layer of kitchen roll soaked in glue
