Simply stunning! Amazing mask. If you don't mind me asking, what is wonderflex? I work with leather but am interested in other materials.

It's a mesh material that has been...mmmm....embedded I guess is the best word into plastic.......when you heat it up the plastic/mesh sheet goes sort of soft and then you can mold it for about 1-2 min and then it hardens. You can keep heating it up and remolding as much as you like. But it does keep that mesh grid look so you have to cover it in either gesso (which takes many many layers) or something called friendly plastic. Friendly plastic comes in little pellets and it's basically the plastic part of wonderflex without the mesh to hold it together. So you heat it up in hot water and then smooth it over the wonderflex. If you look up cosplay with wonderflex you can find some amazing things. My prince nuada armor that I have on here was also made from wonderflex but that was covered with gesso instead of friendly plastic. It's pretty cool stuff but it can be very time consuming to get it smooth.
