1.
Roll a 5mm thick, 300mm x 200mm rectangle light
grey sheet by Makin's Brand Roller. (To get
light grey, mix 125g white clay with 5g black clay)
Add white glue on the top surface of the mask. Cover
the entire mask with light grey clay sheet. Stick
on the nose first to prevent air bubble trapping
underneath. Then smooth the contour surface with
fingers and palm carefully. Prevent air bubble trapping
underneath along face mask contours. Use pin to
puncture air bubble if this happened. Press to release
air out by fingers.
2.
Trim
out the excess clay along mask edge by Makin's
Brand Mallet or scissors. Depress the 2 eyes
holes with fingers, then hollow them by Makin's
Brand Mallet.
3.
Get dark red color by mixing 480g red clay with
20g blue clay. Roll a 8mm thick, 355mm x 195mm rectangle
sheet by Makin's Brand Roller. Cut out the
bird mask shape according to the paper pattern by
Makin's Brand Mallet. Put a plastic wrapper
under the mask to prevent the clay sheet from sticking
on the table surface. No need to add glue on the
mask, then cover the upper half of mask with the
dark red pattern clay sheet. Prevent air bubble
trapping underneath by placing on the nose first.
Smooth the clay surface with fingers and palm when
covering the upper half of mask carefully. Place
the 2 ears of clay on table.
4.
Slightly lift up the forehead edge and the nose
part of the bird mask with fingers. Put some wrapper
underneath to prevent collapsing down. Hollow 2
eyes holes by Makin's Brand Mallet. Let dry.
