I should have put pictures of this up sooner but... things came up.

Anyway here you have it! One of my pride-and-joy art projects, a wearable dragon mask! The basic structure of the mask is carboard and hot glue. The eyes are from a cristmas ornament where you could split it in half to put stuff inside. The skin was applied over the cardboard with more hot glue and some stuffing to give it a little more shape. Next, I put the teeth in. All of the teeth were made from sculpey clay. After that I added the large scales, which are made out of some sort of foam material.

Some of the nice features I managed to incorporate into the mask are the jaw that moves when you talk, and a straw that you can blow through to make air come out of the nostrils. The two large fangs are also retractable so as to avoid damage when the maks is not being worn.

Unfortunately vision is very limited when wearing the mask. (you can't see directly ahead of you unless you open the jaws. Other than the the mask is fairly light and easy to wear as it does get very hot.

I am still working on this mask. The mouth needs more work as well as the horns. Sorry for the blurry photos. Unfortunately I am not all that great when it comes to photography.

If you have any other questions about it I'll try to answer them.


Enjoy!!!
