Hey folks, I'm working on sort of project that is a gift / Xmas present / therapy aid for my wife. I cannot get into why I am doing this as it something she is working through but I am wanting to put into her hands the materials needed to make masks. All kinds, like you might find at a ball or Mardis Grais or a really good scene.. Domino, Venetian, half and full face... From simple 1 color to the really "loud" as I call them with paints, glitter, feathers and all that. However, the only materials in terms of base masks I've found is cheap domino styles with a 2 cent rubber band on the back, nothing that is designed to be a source of art. Does anyone know where I can find the really high quality base masks at here in Atlanta? If need I can provide examples pictures, but basically, firm plastics, leather, PVC, Rubber, the material superhero's use, anything information would be helpful.
Here is a link to a mask that is an example of what she's wanting to do:

If anyone can give me any leads, like I said, all I've found so far was very very very flimsy 2 cent masks that could not handle being modified, so any information is useful!
Thanks
