Making a latex face mask myself

[jaded]

I am building an entire suit this year for the first time (hopefully before Halloween) and I am on the fence about having a latex face mask on underneath my bio. I have done a lot of research about the pro's and con's of wearing it,......I am in my opinion, a pretty artistic cat............So my question is: Is it possible to design and make the face mask myself at home? or Is buying one better than trying on your own? So, to all of you awesome, kick-ass Lair guys.....any sage advice, suggestions, or methods are greatly appreciated......thank you

Ide say it depends how much time and money your willing to put into it. It's absolutely possible to create your own at home, but there is a big list of things you need to have before you start.

and some of them things has to come down to personal opinion of whats best for your project

Ide suggest searching on the lair, there are some good tutorials and the like here that will help you decide your methods.

If you want to see the process to get an idea heres a good link:

What an excellent tutorial recommended by Kaziel. Essential reading for the budding mask maker. Much appreciated by a fellow sculptor.
