Mask making for Halloween

In my last post you saw that I had started on a leather mask, I had cut out my design (my fingers were very sore!) ...since then I have wet molded, dried and painted the mask ..here is the end result! 

This is a (luminous)glow in the dark mask with a spider nestling on the side, the glow has to be activated by bright lighting :)

If you love cogs and a touch of Steampunk ..this one is painted copper and pewter and looks very dashing!! :) 

You can find all my masks in my Etsy shop! 

Leather mask

I bought some 4 oz veggie tanned leather and have made a smaller mask than usual, with a few creases and rolled slightly rolled edges.

 When I was happy with the shape, I let it dry off and then painted it in metallic pewter and copper colours, these are my favourite colours to work with..

 It looks quite like crumpled metal, and is listed in my Etsy shop!

It ties with black ribbon and is unisex, great for LARP enthusiasts!
