Abstract
A soft sculpture face mask is extremely lightweight, breatheable and capable of being easily and inexpensively manufactured. The construction of the mask allows for an unlimited variety of face mask designs utilizing basically the same materials. The mask is three-dimensional and, therefore, more realistic than rubber molded masks which, in any event, are hot and uncomfortable to wear.
