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!

Leather mask

I have now finished my leather mask, (I love making these!) I need about a week to make one as the drying out can take a day or two, can't be rushed. I have gently shaped it around my styro head and then painted the leather black and decorated with three metal studs.

I could use leather dye but it appears that dyes fades quite quickly so I prefer to work the paint into the front side leaving the back natural.

 

 The edges have tints of pewter colour and it ties with long black ribbon.

 

 It is comfortable to wear, lightweight and 1.2 - 1.6 mm in thickness.

 

Fabulous fancy dress costume accessory

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!

Butterfly Mask

A red butterfly mask, that stands out from the rest, unique and unusual!

 Hand painted and decorated with lace and feathers, gold accent beads, acrylic gems and glitter!

 Looks great on as it hugs the face and all the glitter and beads shine

Yay for red! :)

I am working on this Vintage cottage chic mask at the moment but am unsure if I like it or not, I feel it is slightly lacking but just can't decide what to do!?!

I have added pearls around the eyes and I must admit it does look better in the flesh so to speak but is definitely proving to be a bit of a headache! :)
So....until next time.. Goodbye and Thank you for visiting! :)

Leather Mask

I have been desperate to try making a leather mask, so was happy to find some suitable leather and have a go. The leather was really thick and very hard to cut but I managed it and set to work.
I started with this piece of 5mm leather.......... used a hand drawn template and cut out my design.

 

And after all my hard work and nearly slicing off my one of my fingers I ended up with this mask!

 

I am very happy to say that this mask has SOLD! :)
