And Another New Mask!

Sarrah Wilkinson - 7/14/2017

I just recently finished my new griffon mask. Because the molds I make are soft, the original sculpture is often left intact. Normally, once I've done a test cast and verified that the mold is good, the sculpture gets destroyed and the clay recycled to use again! But I've been wanting to do a raptor skull, and there's the shape just waiting for me.

As you can see in the photo comparing the two masks, I didn't want the new mask to be too similar to the griffon I just finished, so the changes were fairly extensive. Even the shape of the beak ended up rather different, thinner and with a more pronounced hook at the end.

Blanks of both masks are available now in the shop!
