Joann's or Michael often have blank masks, a heat gun and some careful work can help flatten it a bit or you can look online for wonderflex.

I actually suggest using paper clay. It's lightweight, you can form it easily and it's air dry, just make sure you seal it with a polyeurthane when your finished.

I would suggest paper mache--as it's terribly easy to make and get a hold of.
I used it to make masks back in my freshamn year of high school---
I made ones similar to the Phantom, from Phantom of the Opera, as well as a kitsune mask >>;

I had fun, eh? lol

I hope this was helpful.
