Interested in learning to make masks... any help??

So it has become apparent to me that some of the best independent mask makers are regular users here on horrorbid. My plea to them or anyone who knows the process and materials needed to make masks is to put up a step by step process to teach those interested in learning how to do it.

I have about 9 years experience with haunted houses with of course includes latex work and special effects make up... Also, I am a licensed funeral director here in Virginia. Needless-to-say, I have had approx. 5 years experience with restorative art including wax molding. I also know how to hand punch hair and airbrush.

The problem is, I have never met anyone competent enough to teach me how to make masks, what materials to use... what to do first, how to make the plaster molds... whatever.

I would love to put together a myers mask ( i have a killer idea in mind that i think you would all love! )

Any help will be greatly appreciated and depending on how well i take to it, potentially rewarded.
