Masquerade Masks for all events

I now have a New website as well as my Etsy shop!

 I am adding to it all the time, at the moment it still needs a few tweeks but I am very happy with it!

I will list new masks and accessories so that there is more of a variety to my Etsy store.

Check back soon!

Bird of prey ..Eagle mask commission ..finished!

I have been working on a commission these last few weeks, and I am pleased to say it is now finished and in the post! 

I was asked to make an eagle character, that looked like a superhero but slightly menacing.

I bought several hundred feathers and after adding a mod roc (plaster bandage) beak to a pre-made mask and painting that a yellowish colour, I set about adding all the feathers,.. most of them individually! 

This is the base with mod roc and gesso as a base for the paint.

When it was all dry, I painted the beak.

 

I painted the base in shades of grey and put black around the eyes. 

Then ...I added the feathers, trying to get a smooth layer all over.

Looking pretty good at this stage, nice and fluffy! lol 

There is grey felt around the eyes to neaten the edges and give a frown effect and black ribbon attached inside to tie.

And ..this is the finished mask! 

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! :)

Christmas party masks

Well ...I need to get busy making more Icicle masks as my stock has completely sold out!! :) 

I love making these masks as you probably have already realized, so watch this space as they say for more!

I am working on another gold one at the moment ..I will put pics up when it's finished, in the mean time I have finished a pretty black and pink ladies Italian Venetian style mask!

It has a mix of black and dark pink fluffy feathers, a black taffeta bow and lots of gems for extra sparkle, you can find it in my Etsy shop, it would make the perfect mask for your Christmas ball, prom or Masked New Years Eve party! 

Take a look in one or both of my shops, I have quite an eclectic selection of masks to choose from! 

OMG!!! Christmas makes!

Holiday's are coming!!!

Well ...seeing as Halloween has passed by and we are now into November I have started on my Christmas makes! 

I just love these cute mini Santa hats on an Alice band, they are very comfortable and look so cute sitting on the angle!

 And ...how abouts this very festive looking masquerade mask, with artificial holly and berries, it looks amazing on!

I love the holly against the red feathers, looks so Christmassy and the little gold stars just captivate the the whole feel of Christmas ..what do you think? 

Masquerade and Wedding!

This masquerade mask is so sparkly and has a handmade rose and fluffy feathers on the left side with lovely glittery clear gems, really pretty and perfect for any occasion!

Available in my Etsy shop!

 As well as making masquerade masks I also make hairbands and clips, perfect for weddings or evening wear. Perhaps you don't want to wear a mask but still want a bit of feathery boomph so a hair band is a great accessory.

All the items on my blog can be found in my Etsy shop!
