Hi all!
Been mask making for a while but recently got into polymer clay and LOVING IT!
The one issue I face is well... the face. When I used to make masks I’d pepakura my own files or model and print them using a CAD representation of my head. Not a scan, but a rather accurately sized model.
The problem is, if printed, I could use it for modelling but not for baking, and the masks certainly would benefit from the support.
So I’m going to make a basic tape pattern of my head and I plan to use it to roto-cast a bust skin and reinforce that with more material. My question is: what’s the best pourable oven proof material to make this skin? Would it be best to make a silicone skin then fill it with clay or something?
Thanks!
