I had wanted to make a venetian style mask for a while and always loved the Bauta style mask. Casanova wore a similar mask. I began this project by simply looking at pictures on the internet. The plaster bandages and celluclay was purchased at a local hobby store for $11.00. The paint cost about $50.00 including primer, glitter spray, metallic paint, sealer, etc. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I'll try to answer best I can. (less info)
