Nope. The Mache is really strong on its own so it isn't necessary.

Not long. Without counting the painting, it took about two hours to make the mask.

Opergeist In reply to theannoyinge [2010-03-20 00:45:45 +0000 UTC]

No, I can't say that I had planned on it.

However, I am doing a little Boris Karloff tribute at Dragon*Con this year as a steampunk version of Frankenstein's Monster and his bride.
