Bug Mask is Done - Finally!

The butterfly mask I show in the video is in my mask book, available on amazon.com: http://amzn.to/2obUDmq

Do you ever start a project that just keeps getting out of control? And then you wonder why you started in the first place? Well, I think my Cicada mask would qualify. Towards the end I rushed things, and the finished mask does not come up to my usual standard.

Those wings would look nice on a fairy costume, wouldn't they? that would be a two-hour project, and it wouldn't scare the neighbor's kids. :)

I kept looking at my mask book sitting over on the shelf and wondered why I didn't follow my own instructions? The silly bug mask would have been done ages ago, and it would have come out a lot better better. The shop towel mache would be lighter than the plaster cloth, and if I started out with a plan to make the entire bug the proportions would have been better. Ah well - we can't expect every project to come out perfect, can we?

Those legs, though.... maybe they're scary to me because I had to put them in the wrong place, and now they stick out in a menacing way. They aren't at all scary on a real bug.
