Cutting it out

Today I removed the chicken wire that I had used for the skeleton for my paper maché, and proceeded to cutting out the mask. This was more troublesome than I had expected. Some parts at the edges of my paper maché were really thin, and I had to be careful not to break them. I managed to slightly crack a corner, but sut some more paper maché on, and I think that fixed it. The other difficulty was cutting the thick areas. I discovered that my 3D-buildups around the nose that I had created last time, were extremely difficult to cut through, especially when I had to be so careful with the thin part. Then I discovered that the mask was a bit too flat, something which looked kinda weird, but all in all I think it went quite well, especially after I smoothed the edges and added some white base-paint so it didn't look so newspapery.
