Belle of the Ball!

 This mask has a touch of Dark Victorian to it, with the skull cameo and black feathers and veiling.

Looks amazing on and would be perfect for a more Gothic themed Masked Ball.

 Love this one ...so pretty with pearly pink and lace, lots of small bling to making this very romantic!

 And finally today.... one for the men, A stunning metal effect mask with cogs for those Steampunk enthusiasts! 

Masks galore! I have been busy

 Fabric drenched in stiffener layered over a mask base and painted silver.

 Veggie tanned leather wet moulded and shaped.

 Hand painted in black, gold and silver, with added gems.

 Gold and purple mask with lots of glitter, a real carnival stunner.

 Shimmering black fabric mask with feathers and veiling.

 Navy blue masquerade mask with fluffy feathers and lots of bling.

 Witchcraft mask, feathers, ribbon and stiffened natural fibers, decorated with witch themed metal charms and cobweb ribbon.

 Scarecrow mask ..made with hessian and black feathers, I used fabric stiffener on the hessian and painted it in copper brown and black.

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.

 Pretty little roses and gold swirls, with fluffy peach feathers ...so pretty!

 The colours go really nice together, soft and beautiful!

 Looks amazing on and will complement that little black dress and those nude shoes!

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! :)

Snow Queen mask

I made another Snow Queen mask,

 this time I added purple accent beads

 And purple and silver glitter

 It ties with white shiny organza ribbon

It sold the same day I listed it! yippee! :)

Steampunk Mask custom orders

Here are my latest masks, some are custom orders which I have really enjoyed making!

The blue green one is such a lovely colour with a hint of iridescent.

The Christmas party mask sparkles perfectly for anyone that doesn't want big boomphy feathers but needs a touch of bling.

 This Steampunk was a custom order, aged effect traditional masquerade with a touch of Steampunk.

 This is the blue green custom order finished, I added swirls and a fern style pattern in a gorgeous shiny gold.
I am working on a red butterfly mask and an apricot and gold shabby mask at the moment, pictures soon. :)
