Method 3. When it is desired to have the mask fit, as for a play,
it can be made with the face as a model. Children can work as part-
ners, with one as the model.

* Put cold cream on the face and fit the wet buckram over it. Cut
holes to breathe through. Press into contour and lines of face. Sit
in front of light heat until buckram is dry.

* Build any character on this foundation using putty, gummed
paper, whiting and shellac. When hard and dry paint with tempera
or oil.


Method 4. Make a paper mache mixture. Use a clay model base;
grease it; build paper mache mask over it. Or if clay is not available,
wad up newspaper as a foundation and build a shell of a mask over
the newspaper core with the paper mache mixture. When dry, re-
move the newspaper core.
