Mask progress - trouble at mill

 Lots of progress on the mask to catch-up on. First I painted it black:

And that went pretty well... So I rushed (yeah, I rushed) on to add the silver leaf:

And that didn't go great - lots of patches and holes :( It looked good in the places where the leaf had stuck properly... So I decided to go ahead and distress it:

Which should have been great, but actually made it a bit... colourful... and didn't really disguise the holes. Getting a bit panicky (but trying to remember it's an experiment), I added tears in black...

Oh dear... For some reason all I can see now is:

And the like... So I toyed with added barbed wire like a crown, or using sculpting mesh to add a veil, or adding oak leafs as a crown... Anything to go less gram rock, more gothic horror.... But after a lot of angst I realised I am in a blind avenue... So I bought some gloss black paint, and I'll paint over it and try again!
