This mask finally got to be worn in a parade today! (I made it years ago in college).

Current puppet build: Giant Green Man.
🍀🌳🌱🌲🌿
Hoping to have him completed in time for May Day. His head is 3 feet tall x 2 feet wide, and all the clay was sculpted over a reusable corrugated plastic (corplast) core.
Next comes paper mache!
