Made by BRIDGET CASTLE
This year our Mardi Gras parades were canceled due to Covid so the region decorated their homes to celebrate. I knew I wanted to make an oversized mask but didn’t know how. I used some of Jonni’s techniques and used the waterproof recommendations from the Whale guest post using indoor/outdoor joint compound, titebond iii, and acrylic fortifier. Then once dry I used the joint compound to smooth it out (with a rubber spatula of course). Used spray gesso then flex seal rubberized coating, painted then sealed with polyurethane spray. It was a lot of steps but It held up beautifully in the weather. Thank you for all of your help and information!!
Wow that is a huge project but well worth the work. It looks great and you can reuse it! Great job!
Wonderful! It must have been well received! A lot of work, a lot of fun!
Super done!!
Wow, that’s impressive! Glad y’all found a way to celebrate in spite of Covid.
