Recreating a Papuan Manam Mask – Cartón Fallero process by a Theater prop-making student 🎨🎭

Описание: I've been commissioned to recreate a Papuan Manam mask for my client's brother, who saw one in real life and fell in love with Papuan masks.
It's the most original gift I've ever heard of, and I put my skills to the challenge for them!

I am a show sculpture & prop‑making student, so I've done some parts of this before I learnt them at school.
The 'papier‑mâché' method is my translation of Cartón Fallero, which is what the Fallas in Valencia were traditionally made of. It's more similar to the German term steinpappe (stone paper), but close enough for me to translate it as papier mâché.

There'll be more pictures on my website in a week or so. Meanwhile, be sure to subscribe and stay around!
