Art & Architecture Trip - Day 18

Today was mainly a day for working on masks. First, I continued to put gray paper on my clay model until it was completely covered. Then I began to put brown paper on (over the gray) until this covered the mask too. Later (after the masks had dried in the boiler room), I took the paper mache mold off of the clay. I then put plaster around the edges of the mask. After dinner, I began to paint the mask with white paint. Finally, I completed the mask with blue paint. During the time we were working at JGH on the masks, other people came by to watch us. We met some kids that were touring Germany - they were from California. I met a nice girl names Heidi and we worked on clay together. After everyone else left, Heidi and I talked for many hours about our lives - I told her about my Mom being sick (actually, she is in California now...). She was very understanding and told me about her life. Time went by very quickly and I never thought about how late it was until Jeanne and her friends used the JGH-wide loudspeaker to page me around 0230... I went to bed at 0300, feeling much better.
