Step three of my mask-creating. This is the armature that I would be sculpting onto. After cutting the rim off the bottom of the horns, I stuffed them with shredded paper (to make them a little less squishy) and hot glued them to the mask. Based on the position of the horns, I sketched circles for where I wanted the other four horns to be.

I didn't know how well the clay would hold up under it's own weight when wet, nor how well it would adhere to the mask when it was dry. For this reason, I hot glued bent and cut paper clips to the parts of the mask where I would be building up the clay. The paper clips for the small horns are threaded through the mask (drilled with a pin vice for neatness), and hot glued on the underside. I drilled holes for the two wires that would support the nose, but the way I wanted to position the wires didn't work that way, so the ends are set against the holes and hot glued.

Again, not pictured are the craft sticks I used for the handle. Pictured here are straws rolled in craft paper, which would have been strong enough to support the mask, and considerable lighter -- once the handle was sculpted and mask was dry. This arrangement couldn't hold up the mask when the clay was wet, and I kinda panicked about the mask being strong enough to wear all night. So I replaced the straws with craft sticks.

The craft sticks weren't long enough, so I broke one in half, and made an arrangement of three full and two halves, hot glued so that the handle was two sticks wide, and the joins were overlapped. There are two holes drilled into the cheek of the mask, with loops made from paper clips threaded through and hot glued on the inside of the mask. The stick was threaded through the loops, then hot glued like crazy to get the angle right. I couldn't just have the stick come straight down from the mask, or else my boobs would be in the way, so I had to angle it outwards.

I decided to have the stick on the left - despite right being more conventional - because I figured I would prefer to have my right hand free for drinks and such.
