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.
