From a Halloween mask to a Green-man

13 years ago

This garden green-man was made in two pieces one from a mold I made of a Halloween mask and the other from a plastic water tray that goes under potted plants. Both pieces were made with a mix of 1 part portland cement, 2 parts pearlite, and 1 part screened, hamster bedding (cedar shavings). They were joined with a mix of portland and water.

I really love this mask idea. I have a mold mask of an animal. If I remember, it is a lion and I want to try this soon. Yours looks awesome.
