We're doing it "inexpensively" so the final price per mask will be under $100, even though we're only making a half dozen of them. The molding costs can take a lot of time, and thus cost us a lot, but we started with a heart-shaped mylar balloon for the shape. Here's a picture of it so far.Erik Aronestyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18059679125325747381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014384869943295933.post-65229460686917838592008-05-12T13:31:00.000-07:002008-06-12T13:41:21.097-07:00<img align=left src="/img/wonderwoman.jpg" hspace=10> Nearly finished this one. It's a custom made wonder woman outfit.
