I started out with the base, by putting multiple layers of paper mache over the plastic face mask.

I then cut out the background pieces with large sheets of card stock and I put multiple layers of paper mache over it.

I added volume for two eyes and to fill in the steep dip where the card stock and mask met. I also added a beak using the card stock.

I sanded down the whole mask and covered it with a thin layer of the plaster to make it smooth to paint over.

I added beans as texture along the beak and eyes, and penciled in some ideas for painting.

I started the painting process with basic colors in big areas, then drew lines to divide where the other colors and patterns would go.

I addded some outlines along the cardboard "feathers" and also added a flower pattern around the eyes.

My first add-ons were the green crystal rocks in the top center of the head, followed by the small black shells in the yellow areas and finally the black sand.

I finished the painting parts with dotting the beads with gold and a flower pattern around the eyes, and I added crushed up glass to the beak.
