craftgrrl | PAPIER MACHE, PROPS, MASKS AND HEAD PIECES...

Hey all. Sorry for the text only post. Will keep it brief!

I am a photographer and want to start making my own masks, props and head pieces for use in creative portraits. I'm a fairly arty individual and love learning new skills but don't know where to start with this.

Basically, I want to create quirky, unique, weird and pretty masks, head pieces and props using papier mache, wire, glitter, clay, plaster, fabric and anything else available - can anyone point me to a good starting place? Books, websites, inspiration.. anything that's a good source for teaching oneself the required skills or giving ideas.

Thanks for reading!
