Step 1: Making the Mask

make the base of the mask using airdrying clay after making a layer with a rolling pin

carve patterns on the model for adding features such as hair, nose, etc

add elements like eyes, nose, mouth using small pieces of clay

(make sure the clay has not hardened yet)

Step 2: Drying
