If you've come here looking for self-help, this is probably the wrong place. This is a tutorial for people who are already ego-tastic enough to want to make more of themselves. Not in the traditional sense, and not even in the cloning sense. You'll see.
This is, alternately, a creepy-doll mask tutorial. Hard to be sure.

Signing UpStep 1: Make positive of face
First, you're going to need a positive of your face. Your face, but one that won't get burnt if it suddenly touches something that's 500 degrees.
I made mine using my Plaster Face Cast tutorial.
There are other ways to make a mask of your face than that described in this and the next step, but this is the most accurate way, I think.

In a good way.
I used a combination of one positive and one negative plaster cast, then poured in liquid latex rubber to make a "rubber sandwich" and allowed it to dry for 24 hours.
Then, I adhered my beard clippings to the rubber surface with more liquid rubber.
I decided not to paint it because it looks creepier...
spooky XD
(And it was *so* creepy seeing you around the office in that thing!)
Surprise!
(clatter of footsteps, jingle of keys as I disappear down the stairs in panic!)
I like it!
If you added a little shading around the sides (darker flesh tones) the mask will be a bit more realistic as it gives more of an appearance of a three dimensional form. Or go totally zombie.....which could be fun. That would be the option I'd go for and then wear it to school and freak out all my students...
