Just a quick post to show you that even though my first mask WIP post was extremely unimpressive (all words, no mask), it has come along in leaps and bounds.
Centre piece of scrap card (thanks, Amazon!) added and glued on, just to get a rough idea of what it will look like and how big the final beak will be. And a messy table.
Centre piece of scrap card was too wide and too short, so I cut it and added the excess piece to the end. Also added some side pieces to form the beginnings of a 3-dimensional shape. Didn't try any of those puzzles.
More scrap card, this time thinner and not corrugated (taken from a chicken pie box, yum), wrapped around the thicker cardboard beak. Also cut eyeholes, but these are temporary as 1) they should really be round and 2) they are hilariously wonky.
Added some more card to fill in the main beaky part (held in place by rubber bands and clothes pegs while the glue dries). Glued on some card strips to hold the sides of the beak to the sides of the face. They also help to fill in the huge gap. Started papier mache on the front of the beak. Still didn't try any of those puzzles.
Still to do:
Add more card on the top of the beak where it meets the mask.
Create more rounded eyes, decide on clear or tinted eyeholes.
Add breathing holes (nose, mouth)
Maybe make the bottom part of the mask a little bit longer so it fits under the chin? I dunno yet.
Papier mache the hell out of it, to make it much more solid than it already is.
Paint it!
But before all of that:
Get more UHU glue.
There are a few more progress pics still on my camera but they really just show some more paper mache goodness, so I'll save those for the next update.
