![]() ![]() For a smaller one, you’d want slightly smaller balls. You can use 1.5″ Styrofoam balls for the eyes if you make your lion the same size as the pattern. In fact, right after I finished my mask for the video, I removed the helmet part and replaced it with the hanger piece so I could put it on my wall. There’s no danger of the face falling apart. The hanger piece is a half-circle that holds the upper portion of the head in the correct shape. The pattern has a piece called a ‘hanger’ that can be used instead of the helmet-style mask. I haven’t tried it, but I wonder if it would be possible to use yarn that has been dipped in laundry starch and allowed to dry? Do you think that would give you a mane that you’d like? But, unfortunately, there isn’t any way to know if it’s stiff or soft until it arrives in the mail. Some raffia isn’t as stiff as the raffia that I purchased for the lion mask. ![]() Thank you so much–found you thru some searches and have watched all your lion (paper mache and concrete mold) to get ideas and then found that you have a pattern–what a blessing!!! thank you for your time Reply I’m afraid yarn will be droopy–do you also have suggestions for eyes I won’t be using it as a mask but as a wall mount for a display I am doing for my daughter’s school (Mascot is a lion)–I wanted something like your concrete lion’s head mold that you did which is gorgeous but I haven’t the talent for that–I’m stressing on the detail of the painting of the paper mache–I couldn’t imagine having to carve out the detail in the clay–I also thought about doing some about 1/2 the size as some accent pieces I want to use can the directions be “shrunk” and if so would you even recommend it or would the mask loose something without the size and lastly b/c I’m not using it as a mask, want to hang it on the wall like you’ve done is there a secret to cutting the head covering part won’t have the lion face fall apart. I am torn I love the fullness of the raffia but the “softness” of the papertowel/mache mane. I am looking to purchase your Lion Mask pattern–just wondering do you have a suggestion for the mane when you suggest a “custom soft mane” that is soft but full.
