Additional Research

I did some research as to how to actually make the mask.

I came up with several options:

1. Form the basic face using the chicken wire (N.B. This might hurt, if exact shapes are needed.) Then put paper maché on top, make sure you put it only on the top. Then when dry you can take the chicken wire away. Leaving you with the paper maché. This might be a little week and bumpy.
2. 2nd Way, Turorial on Youtube
