Remember the base I made a couple of weeks ago HERE?
Well, I hated it. The more I looked at it, the more I loathed it. The mouth and nose were bugging the hell out of me. So, I went back to a base design that i made about 7 years ago - this one: It was a good begining and looks oddly like [livejournal.com profile] droxy  's icon. With the below design in mind, i went to work reworking Millicent's mask.




 I added more clay to get rid of the bottom of the nose, mouth, and chin, then cleaned up a bunch of cracks (those are normal) with yellow clay. It still weighs about as much as a strawberry. Midweek, I'll sand then paint.


 
I also started the phoenix mask for the ball, based on [livejournal.com profile] reginafletcher  's story Millicent. Ditto with midweek sanding and painting. This one, however, will be fully rhinestones and feathered. I'll do progress shots if I can remember.

It looks very cool--not sure about the no-mouth-thing! *can easily see Snape going that route, but with my mental images of Millie & Draco... impeding their ability to mouth off causes some cognitive dissonance!!* LOL!

*grins* see, here's the thing - Millie and Draco not withstanding, the whole DE mask thing is a terror inspiring image, lolol. Featureless white is SCARY - especially a lot of featureless white faces. The movie masks annoy me so much because the made individuals out of what should have been a faceless mob. < / passionate mask lecture *grins*

I have a 3/4 mask that I can photograph for you. It's made of plastergauze and seriously needs a clay skin on top of it, but if you prefer the shape, I can knock that out in an hour. It does have a free mouth and jaw, lol. It's for the really small-headed, though.

Um, does The Dark Lord really want the Juniors mouthing off while masked... erm, or anytime he's about?
