Tribal Mask
Hello,
Today we are going to make a tribal mask . If you like my mask you can try out making it . It is in fact very easy.
Supplies
Air Hardening Clay , Snapp off Blade Knife , Rolling Pin , Acrylic Paint , Wet Cloth(to keep clay from drying) , A Curved Surface , Primer(If you're using a clay that's not white).
Spreading the Clay
Take approximately 300 grams of the air hardening clay and make it into a ball . Using the rolling pin spread it out into a thickness of a sheet
Cutting It
Cut-off a shape that looks like a face using the snap off blade knife . Add clay to the sides so that it looks realistic .Put this to a curved surface.
Adding Facial Features
Take a bit more clay and make it into shapes of eyes , nose , lips , eyebrows , ears (which you feel looks interesting). Be creative with your work and make it look somewhat weird.
Designing
Add extra stripes and other designs so that it makes your mask look like someone who would have worshipped by tribes.
Painting It White( Avoid If You're Using White Colored Clay)
If you're any other color clay then use a primer to paint
the clay fully white since it makes painting on it with colors more easier.
Finishing It
Give colors to your mask so that it is attractive
Giving colors can be done according to your wish , you can again creative with your work here. You don't need to copy what i have done
You can add nose stud , ear rings , crown for the mask , labret .etc. to make it look more interesting.
