The Costumer's Manifesto is written by Tara Maginnis, and proudly hosted by William Baker.

THE MANIFESTO IS MUTATING!  IT IS TURNING INTO A WIKI THAT CAN BECOME THE HIVE MIND OF ALL COSTUMERS, FINALLY LIVING UP TO IT'S SLOGAN: "COSTUMERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!" YOU CAN HELP IN THIS PROCESS BY MOVING PAGES TO THE NEW SITE AT THECOSTUMERSMANIFESTO.COM, HELPING TO EDIT THE PAGES THAT ARE THERE ALREADY, AND ADDING YOUR OWN ORIGINAL INPUT.

Costume Design & Construction

A Muslin Mache Mask Project (5D+10C)

PICT0084.JPG (73600 bytes)  

A fully completed mask originally made in 1985 (tissue paper finish only) which has been attached to a baseball cap base, and given a wig and facial hair of bits of fake fur.  This mask was used for The Statue of the Commander in Don Juan at UAF in 2003, and has been carted all across the US since it's making as a demo model.  This method makes very tough, light masks!

The Project:  Read A Muslin Mache Mask instructions and follow them.

When it is finished, photograph the mask and post the photos to your File folder at the class eGroup.  Post a message to the group letting everyone know you have posted these pictures so you can get feedback.
