“a plague-doctor crow, beak as long as the face”
A sentence becomes a mask.
Write what you want to wear. We design it, check it fits, and hand you the sheets.
Made recently
Masks to print and build at home. Open one to see it from every side.
Five lines. That is the whole language.
Every sheet we print uses the same five marks. Learn them once on your first mask and you can read any sheet we ever compile.
01craft knife
Cut
Blade goes here. Every piece outline and numbered seam.
02bone folder
Mountain
Score, then fold the printed side away from you.
03bone folder
Valley
Score, then fold the printed side toward you.
04craft knife
Eye panel
Cut out the fine-dashed triangle and discard it.
05glue
Glue tab
Cut the tab's free edges, fold its base along the seam, glue.
How it works
From words to wearable sculpture in three verifiable stages.
01
Describe it
One sentence. The more specific the signature feature — a beak, antlers, a crest — the more the mask looks like what you meant.
02
We design and verify it
A full low-poly head is generated, then checked: does it hold together, is it symmetric, does a real head fit inside, is the feature as big as you asked. Anything that fails goes back for repair before you ever see it.
03
Print, score, fold
A PDF with cut lines, fold lines and glue tabs, sized to A4 or Letter. Card stock, a craft knife, a bone folder and glue are all you need.
Questions and answers
Paper, tools, sizes, and what happens when a design fails a check.
- Do I need an account?
- No. Describe a mask and it starts designing. Nothing to sign in for, nothing to pay.
- What if the design fails a check?
- It never reaches you. The check that failed goes back to the model in plain words, a horn that is not symmetric, an eye panel out of place, and it repairs the design, up to three times. If the third attempt still fails you see which check stopped it, the last version that held together, and three ways on: try again, simplify the description, or continue from that version.
- What size should I print?
- Face height is the distance from the mask's brow to its chin. 24 to 26 cm fits most adults; 20 to 22 cm fits a child of eight to twelve. Change it on the mask's page and the sheets reflow at once.
- What paper and tools do I need?
- Card stock (about 200 gsm), a craft knife, a metal ruler, a bone folder for clean creases, and glue. Print at 100%; the PDF is sized for A4 or Letter.
- Can I get the mesh, not just the PDF?
- Yes. Every finished mask has a link to its mesh as JSON, under the numbers on its page.
- How big are these things?
- Oversized and faceted on purpose. A stag mask is closer to a helmet than a party mask; plan for a real afternoon of assembly.
