Life Masks

My life masks were inspired by the work of a Canadian artist, Miya Turnbull. She creates wonderful life like masks using paper mache.  She was generous with her encouragement and advice and I was intrigued and inspired.  Plaster of Paris casting was new to me and definitely a challenge.  I look forward to playing with this idea more in the future.
