I know that it isn't quite Halloween yet,  but I have been working on a couple of masks for my costume. I bought these masks at a discount store for $1 each.   Then I decided to use Nicole's corpsing method (or my version of it anyway) to make them better.  I still haven't decided which of them I will wear. I may take both and swap between them.  

Here is one of the masks prior to anything being done to it. 

Yes it looks like a cheap plastic mask. 

Then I added a base layer of white glue

I am guessing that this layer helps it to "grab" when you start adding the other pieces.

Then I added toilet paper and glue according to Nicole's directions. (Although, I probably did the "Gene version" of those directions.) 

Sorry I don't have a progress photo for that.  And finally after several layers and colors of paint: 

 There are is only one "progress photo" of the skull. To be honest, it was the first one and I was too excited to remember to take photos. 

Yes, it would have worked like this but I thought it needed a little "something, something." 

Those teeth still look too "plastic" and white. 

Ah!!!! This is better, don't you think?

Now it looks like I clawed and chewed my way out of the crypt! 

I am linking with Nicole for the Friday Face Off. 

Happy Halloween!

Until Next Time,
