Derryn the head comes out of the closet

I'd be interested in knowing if this type mask is totally for display or if people actually wear them? If so, how do you put a strap or other retainer on?

Great work!

Yes, if you can find a prettier model, they would display better. Until you find that female mannequin, maybe you could do a self portrait?

Been fun to watch your work evolve over the last few months, roo...I agree, your airbrush works wonderfully on your masks...can't wait to see next...

hi mike, yes people do wear them...fancy dress masquerades balls etc...there is a double strand of thin elastic to hold them on...i sell them on ebay but i dont use 'Derryn", for display photo, i use a plain white sheet draped over him...derryn is the head i use for molding the mask

cheers

Hi,

Great looking mask you got there.

I'm wondering how you stiffen the leather and still have the colours come out so nicely. I've been dabbling a bit with mask making and tried to harden them with wax, however that changes the colours quite a bit. When I try thicker leather however I find it a problem to mold all the shapes into the mask that I want. Do you have some suggestions for me to toy around with?

Best regards,

Harma

That mask turned out really nice. Thanks for sharing
