In celebration...
I'm approaching a landmark number; 3,000 watchers/faves for my Etsy shop. That's pretty incredible. ^_^
In celebration, a mask. Not a new design, but my most popular mask. I guess it could be considered my "signature" mask.
My "stormwolf" is something I came up with over a decade ago. It's been through so many permutations. I just finished this one last night and decided to update my pictures...
The new pictures are so much better! I had to replace the old pics on my Etsy site...not that they haven't served me well. I think I've sold fifty of these wolves on Etsy alone.
My Dad loved this mask (even in its infant form, which was so much rougher than what I do now). He said he loved the neutral tones, and the painting technique, and that the eyes had a "blasted" look about them. That's what I was always going for; a wolf that's scary not because it looks fierce but because it looks haunted. I even whitened the muzzle to add to the impression that this is a very old creature.
So yes...if you haven't "faved" my shop, go do it! Maybe you'll get to be "number 3000".

That was sweet of you to add me back, but good bizness too, because I am agonizing over how to justify spending $165 for your lion mask. That is a very reasonable price for the exquisiteness of your artistry. Your masks are wonderful.
Please don't feel you have to read my journal to be polite or anything like that. I think this new blog of mine is going to be somewhat cranky and a wee bit foul with the bad words and I understand if that puts people off. I hope not to be boring, but thats an unavoidable hazard of blogging.
