Lizard Tail

A lizard tail proportioned for a human being. It is constructed from foam with a latex skin on the outside. Coating this was fun. Got myself an air compressor and worked out how to spray latex. The leather fitting on the back is so it can be threaded onto a belt.

Mask for Ben

A Venetian style mask, felt lined with a gloss finish. My friend Ben (modelling the mask) had a design for a mask he wanted made. I took a cast of his face and turned that into a plaster copy. Onto the plaster I sculpted the mask in clay, then took another plaster cast of that. Into that plaster mould I papier mached the mask. Painting was done in enamels with a gloss laquer after that. Half the face is smooth while the other half is melting. Ben informs me it is very comfy.
