Hannya Maskby *The-Underwriter

Artisan Crafts / Costumery / Masks

This mask was handmade by myself as a visual concept for my previous music band Lyan ( post rock ). Infortunately, it was never used. But i'm still fond of it !

It is made of clay and specially fit for my face, painted with acrylic colours. 80hours of work.

It represent the character of Hannya in the japanese traditional No.

Wow super cool!

(it reminds me of the character Hannya in Rurouni Kenshin btw)

Did you use only clay or did you use some kind of base mask or such underneath as a building ground? I just wonder because I plan to do an oni mask in the future too.

I used a base of plaster bands that i've putted on my face and then, i put clay step by step, but it's not the best way to make a mask i think...

*Chigami Jan 22, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Ah okay. Interesting, thanks for telling me.

I think I might use a plastic face mask as a base and work over it.. I just hope the clay will stick to it.

*The-Underwriter Jan 22, 2013 Professional Writer

The clay will not stick on plastic, even on plaster, i sometimes had to use some glue to strengthen some part once they have dried. I think the best way is fiber glass, but it's toxic when you manipulate it. Once it's dry, there's no problem. There is no easy way, I fear... :-/

*Chigami Jan 22, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Ouch damn. :/ But do you think even with a plastic mask I could build on top of it (use it as a building base to get the right "face form") and when the clay dries take it off the plastic mask? Would the clay be strong enough on its own after the mask is not there to, err, support it I guess? (I planned to use papier-maché clay powder)

Sorry if I make no sense, English is not my native language.
