This is a ROSEMASK creation. As you can see it is in pieces, a jigsaw composition on the edge of the definition of a mask (when assembled it is a classic face shape).
Sometimes you have to lose the plot in order to find it, as was the case with figuring out the Multimask concept. It has been One Big Puzzle involving challenging the-way-things-are-usually-done (tradition). A roller coaster ride. But now that the experimental stuff is nearly done, this weblog is dedicated to stories about masks and new recipes for making masks…
To make this ‘puzzling’ composition you will need:
Cutting:
Two Ultra Multimasks (one for support), scissors and sandpaper, draw jigsaw puzzle shapes on top of first base mask and cut out, sand until smooth.
Painting:
Fas or Jo Sonja’s Gesso primer/sealer, white
Krylon 18kt. Gold Plate spray paint (or equivalent)*
FolkArt Metallic Pure Gold acrylic paint
Good quality paintbrush (eg. Francheville Taklon)
*Substitute colours and tones as you wish.
Decoupage:
One sheet scrapbook paper (design of your choice)
Holdfast paste (or glue stick)
Varnishing:
Plaid Royal Coat ‘antique’ Decoupage Finish
Finishing touches:
Dried flower petals and/or small red rose decals (transfers)
Fabric trim, braid or lace
Spray sticky adhesive
The Ultra Multimask
Only a little different from the original Multimask, the Ultra Multi has calcium carbonate fillers incorporated into the recycled paper pulp to make a denser, whiter, neutral mask that looks and feels like fine stationery.
Calcium carbonate is the same natural material that bones, sea shells and coral reefs are made of. This makes the Ultra Multimask the most ‘natural’ skeletal-type structure you can get your hands on for making mask stories.
