Awesome compliment. It's wet-formed leather. I use vegetable tanned cow hide, soak it and then mold it as it dries. I have a plaster face form that I made that I use for the basic shape, but the rest of it is done by manipulating it with hands and tools, if you like. I went into a pretty thorough description of my process here (please ignore the grammar and spelling- I was sleepy when I posted it):
