would this possibly work for like a band mask ??

[willowing]

i'm not sure what you mean by a band mask! the plaster is a little fragile but if you do many layers it might work!

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this, I am going to be making venetian masks for my bridesmaids to walk down the aisle with, and seeing this gave me a really good idea of how it is done. Also, your little one is too cute!

@willowing We made these back when I was in high school, in a puppetry class, and after it was dry enough to take off our faces, we did add 2 or 3 extra layers of plaster for strength. And then, yes, it was strong enough to hold elastic bands to hold it to the face.

Just FYI: the actual name for this kind of mask (from the late 17th C.) is "Domino." they were tradtionally worn with a loose hood and half cloak, too (makes sense to me, because a person's hair is almost as identifying as their face).
