I've been doing some face "masks" in polymer to use for making molds, which I will then use, hopefully, in dolls or other projects where I just need a face for embellishment. Don't these look spooky with their blank eyes glaring at you!!!
This is a very quick and easy way to practice sculpting faces, akin to drawing on paper in my opinion. I start with a flat oval of cardboard and create the face on that. They go very quickly unless I get hung up on trying to get the eyes right! Then when the mold is made and I pull a face from that, I can add the back of the head if it's to be used for a doll, or simply adhere it to whatever base I'm using for my project.
This is a journal cover I did in an online class with Jean Bernard, using just a face "mask" for embellishment. The base and the vines and berries are all Apoxie Sculpt, but the face is polymer.

Oooooo! You made MORE! Beautiful! And I LOVE your journal cover! I'm going to be taking Jean's class next month! That gives me some insight into what the results will be! (Needless to say, mine won't be anywhere close to yours, but I mean ... you know! LOL!) Your molds are going to be useful to you in so many way! GOOOOOD job!
Looking good Mary! I am going to be taking Jean's class next month -- I am excited now for it to start. Do you have any plans yet for the molds or are they like mine, more for a "some day I'll thing of something" thing?
