Cooper only uses a single pieces of paper, without cuts or glue, shaped by folding alone in the origami tradition.

Little geometrical drawings are made on the paper before folding, which is a process called precreasing.

These masks are hand-painted, dyed, or stained and then treated with polyurethane, acrylic or shellac to make them more durable.
