So this is Kathy's finished Mask! Just beautiful, isn't it! Kathy spent parts of three days painting it. She wears it well, don't you think?
This is Liz and Kathy putting on another layer of the white material, on top of the blue shop towels that you saw in the photographs yesterday. The white coating is made up of Elmer's glue and plaster of paris and water and a bit of vinegar. There were several coats of that coating, and then after that dries, which takes a few days, then the wolves heads were painted.
What is funny is that Kathy brought her cardboard wolf's head with her on the airplane in a plastic bag! It got through the X-Ray machine without anyone asking. And she had to take it back through security to get it home in one piece. Once she was home, she started painting it.
Kathy's finished mask is outstanding. So real looking! Fabulous painting job. Loved watching the process.
