Hi everyone, i have spent 2 weeks making this handmade latex masks of the Maitlands (death couple from the Beetlejuice movie).
I never get tired of seeing this movie, over and over again... so i wanted to recreate the characters on the right proportion of those pretty big heads. Also i had search on the web and find many versions of this costumes. Finally, i was prepared to begin this process.
I had started the sculp directly on my head, cardboard and paper tape, then when finished the structure, then few layers of latex skin. This was my first attempt at making this masks, but i have learned a lot about latex and paintwork on the making. For the eyes, i put a black mesh in the back to see through , this was to much fun! I am really proud of the whole look.
Here, some pics of my girlfriend and i, with the costumes we use, at the costume party in a festival on Paraná (Argentina).
