When I was making masks in the Before, I used layers of tissu machê and papier machê. Building up the layers took a long time. The masks also tended to warp over time if they were not displayed or stored on a form.
I am going to try to use a single layer of wool felt, with a layer of machê using strips of dryer sheets on top. If that will take gesso and reach a smooth, paintable surface, then it will pass the first test. If it does not warp badly, it will pass the second test.
I am suspecting, however, that I am going to have to make forms to display all of my masks on, when they are not being worn.
