Mardi Gras Paper Mask
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, not Christmas — Mardi Gras. Maybe it’s the colorful costumes or the imaginative floats. Maybe it’s all the creativity that I love. But my heart has always skipped a beat when thinking about masks.
The above mask was create for Somerset Studio using Rubber Moon images. I love the sense of whimsy that is provided by Rubber Moon.
The base of the mask was made from air-dry clay. Before the clay dried, the rubber stamps were impressed into the clay. Once dry, I painted the mask with watercolor paint. Yes, that’s watercolor paint. I used a sealer to protect the mask.
I do have a few other masks to show you in the next few days. Some of my masks have been in gallery art shows.
Tomorrow: Gift at the CHA Designer Showcase
