My Mezzo Volto


It will hide us all from reality to unleash its mystique beauty, its blunt and envious appearance shows its strength and ability to taunt and arouse someone's imagination.

It only took me about two days to create this work of art, full of courage and inspiration, with the help of my partner I never knew I could make one. At first we planned to make something out of a paper-mache but I realized it will take 49,000 years (lol) before it will dries up, so we decided to use "POP" (Plaster of Paris) instead, because it would only take 3 to 5 hours to dry without a mess. With the power of YouTube searching, I've learned different techniques on how to use POP, but I did the safest way, lining up a piece of wadding sheet on your partner's face would be the safest way than just greasing it with Vaseline, this is to avoid allergies or itchiness.
We used poster paint for the color, a combination of red, black, and white. You can always accessorize it, play along with your imaginations, just make sure not to overkill it.

As an amateur mask maker, I can consider this as one of my successful projects along with other art related stuffs. A very exciting way to ease your stress away, just believe on what you can do best.
