Holly, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you on the email, been very busy with company from out of town. I'm going to post some pics here for you , if you have any questions, I will try to answer them.
I purchased the mask from a party store, I poured it with portland and sand, I embedded an S hook in the back for a hanger. When it was ready, I put it on a mound of sand and carefully put the leaves around it, slightly up under the face, turned it the next day, and cleaned it around the edges with a steak knife and a few other found objects.
I did cover the back of the face, and carved away around the hook. If you click on the pics, you can see it much better.

This is gorgous! I would love to make one of these. I found a mask form at Hobby Lobby, but not near as pretty as this one. Please tell us where you found it!

P.S. Great job on the painting.
