or TRICK!!!

It is my favorite time of the year again!
So it is time for my obligatory Halloween
mask!
Materials
Makin’s Clay® - White 4.2 oz
Pan pastels or chalk pastels
Elastic band
Beacon™ Tacky Glue
PYM II
Basic white mask
Paper pattern of your choice
Tools
Makin’s Professional®
- Ultimate Clay Machine®
- Clay Tools - several tips to cut and texture.
- Cutting Mat
Sponge applicators for the pastels
Instructions:
Roll
out the package of clay so it can fit your paper pattern that you have cut out.
Lay out your pattern and burnish it down
lightly so it doesn’t move while you cut it out.
I like to use the pointy tip from the Professional Tools kit.
After you have your pieces cut out and the
clay is still damp you can use
several of the texture tools in the kit to get a fur look.
Now you can color your pieces to bring out
all the great sculpted and textured details.
I used several pan pastel colors to bring out
the furry look and to bring depth to his ears.
I also added the little fluffy patch to his
forehead.
I repeated the same steps on the other cut
out part of the mask.
To secure the elastic I used Beacon’s Tacky Glue and more clay.
I laid the completed mask over a plain white
mask form to dry to the proper shape.
You can also use the same pattern and cut out
some cloth to line the back of the mask.
The cloth does 3 things:
1 - it gives it a great finished look
2 - it helps to hold the elastic in place
3 - If your mask if for a little one it helps
make it more durable.
After the mask was completely cured about 24
hours I
took him outside and covered him with a good
coat of
PYMII to seal the pan pastels.
Happy Halloween!
