Hi, this is my first post on here so don't be surprised if i ask stupid questions. :facepalm
I'm making a half face mask for a project I'm working on, I was hoping to speak to someone who has with some of the materials I'm looking to use.
I'm working on a head bust of myself.
I want to sculpt the mask out of monster clay and then make a negative and then cast another one that would be the final mask, the problem is I don't know what to make the mould out of, could it be out of plaster? (since I already have some) or maybe alginate and plaster bandages will be enough? I looked into silicone and rubber but Im on a low budget.
Id prefer to re use the monster clay in future projects so my next question is, if coating monster clay with crystal clear will ruin it? ( once I put vaseline on some newly and it ruined it)
Im planning on casting the final mask in latex if thats of any help
Any input is greatly appreciated.
