Red Devil mask and spikes for masked ball events

I have been working on a leather mask and it is now finished, I love working with veggie tanned leather, it really is hands on!

Cutting it out into the shape I require, drenching it in water and shaping it is such fun. Then painting it and adding studs ..my favourite type of mask making! Here is my finished mask ..a Devil with horns and studs, it ties with long red ribbon, is comfortable to wear and it's available in my Etsy shop!

Beelzebub,Satan,Lucifer,Prince of Darkness,Diavolo

Perfect for a fancy dress party, carnival or masked ball.

Etsy Shop!

I also had a delivery from Venice of my blank mask bases ... I like to use these bases because I love the quality and they are a good base to start with, I sand them down and then paint them with quality acrylics and add all my embellishments to finish, here is one I finished this week! 

 It has white feathers and clear sparkly gems and looks very pretty, just perfect for a masked event! 

And ...here is one for the men, Italian made base ..hand painted in black acrylic and decorated with spikes, looks really cool on too! 

Masquerade mask for men ..simply gorgeous!

 All my masks are available in my Etsy shop, I do take on commissions as well, so long as you give me plenty of time ..like say six plus weeks! :)

Halloween Masks

I love Halloween and all the effort that goes into the fabulous costumes!

I have been busy making some Halloween masks, here are a few pics for you to see what I have been up to!!

This a traditional style masquerade mask in a nice purple, decorated with hand painted webs, cobweb ribbon, feathers and metal charms, it looks fab on and would be perfect for a masked ball!

This is a shimmery black fabric mask, with feathers and a big spider nestling in the cobweb ribbon, an elegant mask with a spooky twist! 

A witch's hat Alice band, how cute? 

Set on the angle and comfortable to wear!

How about spikes?

This is a black hand painted leather look mask, encrusted with gold spikes, it ties with black organza ribbon and is comfortable to wear.

Perfect for a rock chick or punk themed Halloween!

Zombie Alert!!

This is hand painted and is perfect for men but can be worn by ladies too! 

I t even has a few stitches and a little trickle of blood, fake of course!! 

Just love this one for the men!

Someone commented that they love it because it's a little bit naughty #50shadesofnaughtiness

It is a metallic pewter and has silver coloured spikes, it will be great for Halloween or a masked ball event.

And ..last but not least is this one, I think it has a touch of "The Crow" to it, but it will be very fitting for a Halloween party or any masked event, it ties with long black ribbon and is hand painted.

So that is a selection of my latest makes, hope you love them and are on your way over to my Etsy shop to view them all in more detail! :)

My latest project is a real leather mask, I am going to make a "Devil" and paint it red with a touch of black, here you can see that I have cut out my main shape, next I will wet mold it ..can't wait, this is my favourite make!! :)

I will put up pics soon of the finished mask!!!
