Hello everyone,
I've been working on a small mask project recently, the idea came from my first DMT trip where I was visited by some kind of wolf/reptile. The trip was very clear and I could feel the physical pressure of its jaws around my head, through his mouth he could see my soul and weight my vices and virtues. I actually thought of Ammit from the egyptian mythology, part hippo, lion and crocodile (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammit): he's the one in charge of eating the heart of evil men.
First drawing I made after the trip! As you can see I am a happy man even after been devoured.
The main component of the mask is a cardboard box of Czech imported beers, first of all because imported means better cardboard strenght and also because any repetitive task deserves compensation.
Second step was to cut some cardboard to make the upper and bottom jaw and the ears.
After that I started the paper maché processus, I just used some flour mixed with water (try to get a smooth texture like paper glue) and used it to glue newspaper strips to the structure. I did 3 - 4 layers, give it time to dry completely!
THEN PAINT IT BRU. DO SOME ART. TAKE A SIP ON THE BEER HEAD.
I'm now ready to go out eat some hearts! Always with love.
Best wishes to you all,
Clemmort.
