Newest Masks

I've made a few new masks in the last couple months. If you're watching facades.vixpi.com or are fortunate enough to work with me chances are you've already seen these but I thought they were worth posting here as well. All the masks pictured here are for sale, although I'm waffling about the one with the veil. I really like that one!

morning commute

I was entranced with the scenery one morning not too far back. It was foggy, which is generally odd in wintertime and the morning sky and treetops were just peeking out above the fog bank. With all the snow on the ground the world had no horizon for a time. I just couldn't stop staring out my side windows and kept cursing that I didn't have a camera in the car. Later I made this sketch as I tried to remember how it looked. I'm sure someday I'll develop this further.

I resolve to eat more healthy foods...

What's new

And now for the stream of consciousness post:

I've recently found myself enamored of a podcast called Craftypod. If you've never heard of it you can get it from itunes or right at the source www.craftypod.com

I finally finished all my Christmas presents. Just in the nick of time too...(bad pun intended)

I've also managed to convince myself that joining facebook was a good thing. I basically a hermit so I'm amazed that so many people have friended me.

I've discovered that Christmas lights are a real pain in the *** Does it take some sort of technical genius to work out how to get a strand relit or what?!

From the craftypod podcast I learned of a site called SpoonFlower that lets you design and print your own custom fabric. Not sure when I'll be using it, but I had to sign up.

More masks are in the works, although admittedly I'm slower than I should be in making them.

My vacation to Toronto is coming up soon and I'm a nervous wreck thinking about the traffic. I've never been there so driving is going to be stressful. I still have maps to make. Thank you google maps!

I've also been working on setting up another blog site. I don't know why really as it's not like I'm all that speedy updating this one, but I've got a bunch of space on my server so I figure I may as well use it, eh?

next time....Christmas the aftermath...

Finally posting the newest mask..

Can you believe it? I've posted more in the last 2 days than I did all of last month! lol.

Above is the latest mask. I call this one the wedding mask. It's all in white & antique white with pearl accents. It's for sale if anyone is interested.

2nd Costume

In an earlier post I mentioned a second costume that I wore for this years Renaissance Festival. Here it is!

The second image is the mask that was worn with this costume.

I had this handy, so I thought I'd post it. This is the mask I am wearing in my previous post.
