   • Does anyone know where I can find papier mache forms for Venetian-style masks, in particular, joker forms? I can make a form using anyone's face however, to have the exaggerated nose, smile and cheekbones - well, I'm just not that good. An example of the shape can be seen on this website http://www.fondazione.com/masks_papier/images/jpg450/valentino1.jpg Any help that anyone could provide would be most appreciated.

   • Hi and Happy New Year!

     Ah, the carnavale season approaches. I make mask blanks with long noses, etc. I enjoy doing variations on jester themes of my own design. They are paper mache. Half masks or whole, it's lots of fun for me. If you would like to inquire further about buying in quantities, we can correspond and I can send you images. If you need a few tips, I offer them free of charge. I am in the U.S.

     Regards,
