Hands Talk

Created this from making a clay. Rolled it out, stamped into it and then laid it over a paper mask for the head and drew around my own hand in the clay and stamped into it.

It was made in two pieces and then stuck together once the copper pigment had been applied.

Canvas Mask

I rolled out various pieces of clay after making it with Powertex and Stone Art.

I stamped into it and also used a small cookie cutter to cut out the squares.

I then put smaller pieces on to fill in some of the gaps.

Close up of the stamping and cut out shapes.

I cut some circles out and placed them on the face too.

Once it had thoroughly dried, I painted areas with ochre Powertex and then once dry I also used black.

I sprayed with yellow, brown and black Bister. Drying between each colour.

I filled the spaces in with black Powertex.

I added various colours of paints and pigments, starting with the matt colours and moving onto the metallics until I was happy with what I had.

View from the side, so you can see how much the mask protrudes.

More close ups of the metallics to hi-light the stamping.

The size of the canvas is 10" x 12" and I used a £1 mask from The Works.

Mask-erade

I picked up a mask from The Works reduced to £1 from £2.99.

To make it a bit more interesting, I cut some of the left side away.

Next I played around placing pieces of lace.

I also wanted to create some texture on the mask.

I added some sand to ivory Powertex and painted the mask. I then sprinkled on some of the tiny balls. I did it over a tray to catch the ones that rolled off and put them back in the tub.
