Bug-Faced Mask - Just Getting Started

I found a dead Cicada in the park this morning when I took my dogs for a walk, and I just had to bring it home and use it as a model for a bug-faced mask. I'm using WED clay again, although I used unbaked Super Skulpey when I made the masks in my book.

The mask should look very much like an alien when it's done, but my neighbors will recognize it. They sound like tiny chainsaws when they're singing in the trees, and there can be hundreds of them in just one city block. Quite a racket - but I kind of like the noise. You get used to it, and it seems strangely quiet when they go away in the winter.
