Clay Mask From Paper Clay
We are making a paper clay mask from paper clay
Taking inspiration from kali mask:
the vibrant colors of jewelry and black face and some colored elements on the face
Supplies
1)paper clay (your choice of clay{but prefer paper clay for its strength and mouldability even when thin})
2) water/acrylic colours and brushes
3)newspaper
4)paper tape
5)primer
6)varnish spray
Base for Mask
think of a design for your mask and make a base for your mask by crumpling the newspapers making base for your mask
Start the Clay Work
make a spherical ball of the clay and press it down such that it is circular and about 5mm thick
Shape the Mask
add the nose, cut out the eyes,
add the hair texture
add elements like ear rings and crown
let the mask dry and become solid
in this case of paper clay we dried for 1-2 weeks
Add Primer
apply the primer paint on the mask and let it dry
(applying primer makes it easier and better to colour)
Colouring
paint the mask with water / acrylic paint and let the paint dry
Make a Stand for Display
use foam board or any similar material to make a rigid stand for the mask
Apply Varnish
varnish provides the shine to your mask
