Mask InspirationYes, you can even use polymer clay to create a Halloween costume!  It’s Friday, time for a little weekend inspiration and polymer clay goofiness.  Here are some fun masks from Flickr, both in polymer and traditional clays.  Hopefully you’ll find them  inspiring or amusing!

And now I’m going to send you over to Polymer Clay Productions for a podcast on making masks.

I’m still accepting Halloween inspired polymer clay creations for the upcoming reader’s gallery.  Email your photo to me along with your blog or website link if you have one.  Have a fun week of claying and I’ll see you back here on Monday!

    Do you use your own face to “shape” the mask or do you have a form you use? I’ve thought many times of making a pretty mask to put up for decoration, but have no clue how to form it.

    Beautiful pieces, thanks for sharing.

    You can actually buy papier mache or plastic craft masks at the craft store or cut out approximate shapes and bake them over a former like a bowl.
