Presents Abound
My aforementioned little sister also took it upon herself to make a few Christmas gifts this year. I was the lucky recipient of 2 handmade hand flowers. This is the first and is completely her own design.
Mask 2: The plot continues
Well here it is: the second finished mask! It was really hard to let this one go. I think it's actually a toss up whether I like this one or my own more.

The Infamous Mask
As I mentioned in my previous post, I finished a mask to accompany one of my Renaissance Festival outfits. I may add feathers to it at some point, but it's complete enough to stand on it's own as is.
I can't even begin to describe how long it took to string all those beads! Which must make me a glutton for punishment as I'm now making a second one for my sister for Christmas.
If anyone is interested, the mask itself was formed with a rolled out piece of paper clay using another mask I had as a guide. Once it was shaped and sanded, it was painted with acrylics, textured, painted some more and the jewel was added. The beads were added next and then I sprayed a clear gloss coat over the mask to make it glossy.

Methods of time disposal
My freelance work has slowed down considerably, so I've been making an effort to waste time in other ways. If you take a gander at my sidebar you can find links to a few of them. See those little critter images? Yeah, I can thank my best friend for my current neopian revival stage. It seems I've been re-addicted.
If you haven't heard of Neopets and need something to do, I highly recommend you check it out (just click on one of the critters to the right).
In art related news, I've been working on a few Christmas presents. Obviously, I can't post them until after the big two five but eventually pictures will make it here.
I also recently managed to finish a mask for a costume I'm creating. I'll try to include an image of that in my next post.
later dudes.
