I have an crescent shaped model which I have to create a mask for-the mask has to look "nasty" any ideas?

Question

In my design class-each of us was given an adjective and asked to create a mask on top of the model we have- But the mask we make has to represent the adjective we got- the adjective I got was "nasty". I thought of creating it out of scrap materials like chains and broken glass- I would appreciate if anyone has any suggestions for materials I could use to portray this "nasty" structure

Answer 1

Use Broken glass tiles and paper, but a thick
card board like paper, then seal it with liquid
glass or a polyurethane varnish.........................

Answer 2

I'd go for the dirty, repulsive, angle myself (rather than anything sexual, for example).

Since you have a crescent-shaped model, you might go for something like a "croissant" highly-encrusted with molds, or a crescent moon corroded and damaged by nuclear target practice from Earth, etc.
Or worms and other gross slimy stuff crawling in and through either of those.

Other "nasty" things might include body stuff... like vomit, mucus, strings of glistening saliva, body wounds or sores . . .

Nasty could just mean "dirty" too in the sense of grime, caked on old food, trash-y, unsanitary, etc.

OH WAIT, I have a good idea! Isn't New Orleans the "Crescent City"?? If so, you could have all kinds of nasty things "floating" on it... even papier mache-ing photos of the truly nasty stuff that was there and still is there on the crescent (bingo!... a politically relevant statement too)
