Description The second mask, that I "finished" the day before the medieval faire
It was far from perfect but I'll definitively make more of them. It allowed me to hide my face and my insecurities, to have a raison to stay silent for hours, and protected my eyes from the harsh sunlight that I wouldn't have been able to stand so long otherwise. And a lot of people asked to take pictures of me/with me so I guess it was a success

That's a good idea You can check my WIP pictures if you want to see how I made it :Β 
Plague Doctor mask progressJust wanted to share some progress shots of my first plague doctor mask
I'm planning two plague doctor outfits : one for a medieval fair this summer, and a steampunk inspired one for november. This first mask is for the medieval version, so I wanted it to be white, plain and simple. I didn't need it to be exactly symmetrical, in fact I liked the idea of a more organic look due to asymmetry. The only obligation I had is that I need to be able to wear my prescription glasses underneath as I have a very bad eyesigh and photophobia.Β Β 
First, I made a base out of aluminium foil.

I covered it with paper mache.


Lots of layers.

Testing the lenses fit.

The general shape finished. Quite creepy, right ?

I tried plaster but it did
Hope it can help !

I made a mask before out of papier mache but I used cardboard as a base.

But aluminum seems easier to mold the face with.

Yes Just be sure to use several layers so it is sturdy enough to support the weight of papier mache without losing its shape.
If you make one I'd love to see it
