all in all, it's simple. sculpt the mask with clay, mold it, pour a latex skin in the mold.

1 step at a time..
First you need to make a cast of your life cast, so you have a mold. If you are on a limited budget, forget foam latex, it is expensive and often times difficult to work with. It takes a lot of experiementation and smells terrible when baking. Stick with latex slush casting for your first time. Here are some decent how to's for latex masks:
