Hello Saskia! I actually got the pelt on Amazon, of all places. I don’t remember the seller sadly. I apologize for not being able to assist further!

Hello Joyce! I used spray paint on the base of the mask, and acrylic paint on the eyes! As for carving the clay, I simply used an xacto knife to carve natural looking lines into the clay. It’s pretty easy – if you are concerned about it, try on a spare piece of baked clay first!

I love the costumes you’ve made and your tutorials are wonderful. Thank you!! ^.^
I was wondering what kind of paint you used on the mask and if there is any more advice we could get on how you carved the clay to make it look like wood.

Hello Salmon! A bit hard to explain, but yes, the part over my shoulders is attached to the necklace to make a cape. Then, I have a second piece attached to the mask that brushes past my shoulders. You can see it a bit better in this photo: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=310373635714125&set=a.275397029211786.67678.118765268208297&type=3&theater

I hope that helps!

Well thanks for the tip! LOL i agree, usually i just use hot glue for my best of luck and it works well on many things! also an other question: What was the shape of your fur and which part did you glue onto the mask? From your pictures, it looks like the necklace is attached to it too! so it kinda looks like a cape, but i just wanna ask from the pro 😛

Thank you Salmon! Funny enough, I just used hot glue. While it doesn’t work for everything, I couldn’t get the fur off the mask if I wanted to at this point. 😛

Hey there! Something like this may actually work:http://www.target.com/p/evergreen-summer-melamine-serving-bowl-with-bamboo-lid/-/A-14370163#prodSlot=medium_1_2&term=bamboo+bowl

The bowl I picked up had paint on it, which I chipped off/sanded down. I also trimmed it to be shallow. Bamboo is pretty easy to get through with a knife or small saw! It’s hard to find a perfectly round bowl, but if you look at my mask it’s actually a bit flat in the front! Good luck with your costume!
