You don’t need everything on earth — just a good base, some interesting junk, and a little paint and glue. The rest is attitude.

1. A base to work from

This is what your mask will grow out of. It should be solid, sturdy, and a little weird.

Think things like:
an old clock, a toy plane, a wooden plaque, an old hand saw, driftwood, a thrift-store trophy, a busted tool, or any object that makes you think, “Yeah… you could be a face.”

Not a pre-made mask — we’re discovering faces inside objects, not filling in templates.

2. Aves Apoxie Clay

About 1 lb (more if you love sculpting).
This is how we grow noses, brows, scars, horns, and glue everything into one strange being.

3. Found objects

These become the eyes, crowns, jaws, and personality of your mask. Bring a mix of small, medium, and awkwardly large things.

Anything from doll parts and toys to clocks, knobs, tools, metal bits, leather straps, or thrift-store oddities is fair game.
If it makes you think, “That could be part of a face,” bring it.

(Some masks end up wearable, some live on the wall — let the project decide.)

4. Brushes

A couple small detail brushes and bristle brushes (½”–1”) for texture and abuse.

5. Paint

Acrylic paint (Golden, Kroma, Liquitex, etc.)

Core colors:
Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold, Nickel Azo Yellow, Transparent Red Oxide, Titanium White, Carbon or Mars Black, Phthalo Blue, Phthalo Green (blue shade), Dioxazine Purple, Quinacridone Crimson (or Red).

Gesso: white, black, or clear.

Optional fun stuff:
Iridescent/metallic colors, Benzi Orange, Naphthol Red Light, Cadmium Chartreuse.

(With just the core colors you can get rust, moss, bruises, glow, and all the weird in-between.)

6. Adhesives & Goo

Acrylic latex caulking, acrylic gel medium, E6000, wood glue, and Plaster of Paris.

Optional: Great Stuff Foam Insulation
This is how everything sticks, skins over, and becomes one organism.

7. Recycling Bin Goodies

Cardboard, styrofoam, aluminum foil.

Random bits can be surprisingly helpful.

8. Optional tools

Not required, but handy: A heat gun, and a Dremel (with cut-off wheel and sanding drum), drill.
