I’m going to separate this a little bit so that it would be easier when I’m picking them up with the paint brush. Okay, now we’re going to open up the glass medium and I think I’ll move it closer. Okay and you have to remember with gloss medium that you're making a sandwich. Okay, the bread is the polymer, with the gloss and what’s inside the bread is the tissue paper.
So you're always putting down polymer, then tissue, then polymer. Okay and just let it over lap like that because then what you can do is just wrap it towards the back. It will be easier than trimming it off later. Okay and what I love about tissue paper is that when you start overlapping pieces you know your colors get darker and darker.
So you can really do a project with one color of tissue paper and it looks it gets this really nice texture to it and it gets a really nice effect the way the colors all crisscross each other. So basically what I’m going to do here is just cover my mask with orange and yellow tissue paper. Okay, just finishing up here with my tissue paper and now I’m going to try and get some so this pieces of tissue around the back to cut down on how much cutting I’m going to have to do. How much trimming I'm going to have to do later around the edges?
Probably going to have to go ahead and cut some little notches there so I can actually get this around the back. Okay, this is going to take a little bit of time because I choose to do something with lots of little details on it.
I think what I'm going to do is give this a little bit of time to dry and then I’m just going to come in with my scissors and I'm just going to cut our little triangles back in there that are supposed to be their cat’s fur until the sears. So I am going to set this up to dry for a few minutes.
Okay, that really helped a lot to dry this out first so that then I could come in here and cut out all these little details. That’s what happens when you pick an intricate design but it will be worth it. And we have to do our eyes again. Okay, nose, I forgot to cover the nose. So I better do that really quickly, so that it will be dry enough later on to attach it with a hot glue gun, now this shouldn’t take too terribly long.
While the nose is getting dry, this might be a good time for me to tell you a little bit more about this mask and how I got these two layers. It’s actually two separate pieces of tag board with two different colors of tissue paper on them and then what I did was I used to make one standout in front of the other you can buy this, they’re called 3D-O’s and they're little dots that pop out and that here’s a pieces a paper that peels off of them on both sides. And then you just stick them where you want them.
So that’s how I got this kind of layered block there is all kinds of 3D-O’s in between there or if you don’t have those, you can always just layer a bunch of pieces of paper you know, glue them together and just glue them to both pieces so that you’ve got you know a little bit of a height difference between the two layers.
So now, we’ll go back to decorating the edges of our mask here and I’ve been thinking about maybe putting glitter all the way on the edges and then doing some kind of design around the eyes. So let’s see what we’ve got, we may have to go with gold or black. Okay, I am going to put, first we got to make sure that there’s not any wet polymer on here because if you start sprinkling glitter on this it will stick wherever there is polymer. Because don’t forget it’s a glue and a glaze, okay.
