This is a wee 'taste' of where my mask making is going. This mask is made out of meat, yes, rosy-pink proscuitto! I found the proscuitto to be an excellent moulding material. Sadly, i have had to take the "meat mask" out of the spare room where it was drying because it was getting a bit whiffy. Next i tried making a "sushi mask" from wet seaweed, which looked rather nice to begin with but as it dried it started to buckle and peel off the mould, so that one is a work-in-progress. You might be wondering what is the point of making masks out of edible kitchen materials and foodstuffs...it's the duo-challenge of using unusual materials artistically and finding beauty where you least expect it! Why make a sandwich when you can make a piece of mask art?
