| From masks |
This mask is made completely of black polymer clay. Each individual leave was molded and coated with gold or silver powder and slightly distressed for a more ancient look. Backed with suede and ready to hang on the wall! I've always been fascinated by Celtic mythology and the concept of the Green Man is of particular interest. I've experimented with foliage masks before, and I'm very proud of this attempt.
Now for the giveaway! This is my first one so I'm just dabbling my toe in the concept. Comment on this entry during the month of October and tell me what you think of the mask I made, and give me an idea for a new mask. On November 1st I'll randomly select one entry and the poster will receive a gift in the mail plus a coupon code for free shipping at my shop!
It looks fantastic! I think a similar design in purple would be cool :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love all things Celtic as well. You did a fantastic job with this!
ReplyDeleteI adore your mask, and think the next one should be wings, in honor of Gwen Knighton's song, :Like Their Feet Have Wings."
ReplyDeleteWonderful mask. Perhaps a new mask inspired by Sir Gawain and the Green Knight? (Not the whole head-cutting-off motif, but perhaps a knightly spin on the leafy, Celtic theme.... Perhaps would entail a fuller face mask that comes down and covers the cheeks, but leaves the mouth itself exposed... feathers, jewels? Or would that just be tacky?)
ReplyDeletehi! This really got my attention, very beautiful and very wonderful mask! Maybe one with leaves and branches in green and brown. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis mask is stunning! It made me think of a Medieval Mask. Maybe something that looked like something a knight would wear. Could have chainmaille hanging below it somehow.Or you could do a Genie mask with netting underneath. Just a couple of ideas.
ReplyDeletei think that your mask is great! Nice detail. It made me first think of coins - so maybe a mask that is "coins" instead of leaves.
ReplyDeleteThe mask looks mysterious and beautiful! I think you could use peacock feathers for your next project.

I would love to see a whole series of this style mask, maybe one using fall colors and one using greens.

And good luck with first giveaway :)
It's beautiful! I like that it's distressed a bit, it has a lot of character! I'd like to see a traditional, ornate Mardi Gras mask.
ReplyDeleteI love the mask, I like the distressed look. For another mask you could make something more colorful, this one is more mysterious, so something bright and gaudy would be a nice contrast. I always like feathers on mask also, making it more mixed media could be fun.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this mask. I could picture it hanging in my library or perhaps my sons wall. He collects masks. Well done!!! I saw someone else mentioned wings for a future mask..I think this is an interesting idea..good luck...great talent :)
