Make your own face into a latex Monster Mask!
Anyone who has ever made, seen, or owned
a scary Halloween mask has heard that corny line many
times, and I thought it would be fun to do a demo that
would finally put some real meaning into those annoying
and predictable remarks. ...
STEP 1. Meet our unfortunate victim and fellow Monster
Makers crew member, Ronnie K. Ron has kindly agreed
to let us replicate and then destroy his cool exterior.
He understands that it is for a good cause. So no hard
feelings.
STEP 2. The first task in turning Ronâ s face into a mask
is to take a lifecast. Weâ ve prepped all of our materials: Prosthetic Grade Cream Alginate, plaster bandages, latex
gloves, water, and a couple of buckets. We start by mixing
the alginate with water.
STEP 3. Itâ s a messy job but someone has be the victim.
If youâ re especially claustrophobic you might not be the
best candidate for a mask, but Ron has been through all
of this before and gladly agrees to receive the first glob of
gooey alginate. Yuck!
STEP 4. The alginate goes on quickly. When applying alginate,
press it firmly against the skin so you do not trap
air. This is especially important around the eyes, corners
of the mouth, and behind the edges of the nostrils. We
are just doing the face, so no bald cap is necessary. You
of course DO NOT want to cover the nostrils. Be sure
to work carefully around that area. If the nostrils do get
covered just have your subject exhale sharply though
them to open up the airway. No need to panic should it
happen. Just discuss it with your subject in advance.
