A small recent collection of masks , Plague Doctor, Cthulhu

So i've been selling well lately which is fantastic, but also bittersweet, I spend so much time on each mask I get kind of attached, and have to fight myself to avoid keeping them...who has the room? So here's a little collection of recent masks, some of my favorites (some are sold, some are on my Etsy

Steampunk....handcuffs?

I prefer, "steampunk inspired" as I hestitate to declare something steampunk because I threw gears on it, but the feel is definitely "inspired* I made my first pair of play cuffs to...well..see if I could? and they sold immediately. Fetish gear was never the direction I wanted to go with my leather work, so I hadn't made another pair until these. and what can i say? I think they're pretty cute. Steampunk bondage photoshoot?

Candy Glass Tutorial ! aka Cheaters lampwork beads

I wrote this one years and years ago, the finished beads really do look like glass! I ONLY use Premo Frost for these techniques, originally known as Premo bleached translucent.

Snuggled down at home, a bit of the dreaded lurgy. Soup is on, curry is started, time to do a little social media!

Lise Watier Commercial

So a month ago I got to work with some amazing, creative and beautiful people on creating a mask for a makeup commercial. I got to go to the fitting, meet the model, poke at her face and make a custom mask for the shoot, this is the end result! I should have asked for that gloss too, it looks amazing.

Almost there!

Finished the second to last show of the season, almost wish I had more :) thank you to everyone who came out and supported the hard working artisans ! it's wonderful to see so many people, we're still not there yet, I can pretty much guarantee that walmart is more packed than any craft show but it's getting better every year, so thank YOU for getting it! Every purchase you make from a local artist or craftsperson is voting with your dollar, encouraging the arts and inspiring new artists, showing them that it IS possible to do what you love. Every dollar vote is giving us access to take our art to another level, every dollar vote buys classes and supplies and allows us to network with other creators. and for that dollar vote? you get a beatiful piece, a story, and to meet the artist directly. You get to give our creations as gifts to the people you love, but it's not just a "hey this was on sale at futureshop so here you go" you get to describe the scene, talk about the artist, express the inspiration behind the piece, you get to tell a story about the gift, and that's pretty amazing.
