Where the Wild Things Are - Masks!
So I know I've been neglecting this blog recently. But there's a good reason for that. All of my spare time after work for the past month and a half has been spent working on these masks:

are you at all interested in doing an adult max pajamas? can you email me at jonnyblairmusic@gmail.com either way?
I'm doing the monster with the striped fur right now, and I have it papier-mached. I have the paint, but I'm wondering what to use for teeth, What did you use? And where can I get some fake fur aside drom the kind of expensive elmer's faux fur?
Last year I used sculpey clay for the teeth (the kind that you bake) and attached it with hot glue. That worked alright, but wasn't the nicest looking option. This year I got some blocks of styrofoam from the craft store, shaved them into teeth shapes, covered them in gesso, and then attached them with Gorilla brand super glue. This worked really well and you have more control as the teeth are more flexible.
For the fur, I just went to a fabric store. No matter what it will probably be a little expensive. If you go to a chain store like JoAnn's or Hancock, it will probably be in the $10-15/yard range. If you go to a more professional store, it will probably be more like $20-40. I keep my costs down by keeping an eye on sales - most fabric stores have sales on faux fur around Halloween time.
Is it too late to say these are awesome?!
