Neighbors and Jason

King Neighbors and Jason the Argonaut.

I wanted you to see this new papier mache  mask I made.  From here it went down to the Municipal Gallery and was on show there for a few days.

I made this mask especially for movement so visibility inside the mask is pretty good--the wearer can also hear and be heard. I tried to include a "megaphone effect"-- but was not as successful as I hoped. The wearer's voice is still muffled--but not as bad as usual.

I colored the mask with photos torn from magazines and newspapers--it is pretty effective and since I use very little paint it is cheaper and "greener".

It is not as heavy as it looks!
