Paper Mache Sphinx Head by Andrea Solis and Hector Ramos
Supplies for Paste • Water • Flour • Newspapers
Instructions to Make the Paste • Simply mix together 1 part flour and to 2 parts water. You would want it to be the consistency of thick glue, but you also want it to be runny and not thick like paste. • And more water or flour if necessary. Mix well to remove any lumps.
Instructions to Make Mask • Put the mask form on a piece of large piece of wax paper. Using the recipe above, apply the layers of paper Mache to the mask. Use smaller strips of paper when making smaller objects like the mask. When dry, remove the mask and paint. • Use cardboard to add interesting shapes and features to the mask. It could be a nose like a bird beak, out the frame around the head in the Egyptian Death Mask. • Cut out the cardboard into the shape you want. Hold or tape the cardboard in place while you lay strips across the join between the mask and the feature. Don't run the strips along the edge of the joint. • Let dry overnight and then paint.
