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".

Hee! Thanks. ^_^ And I'm glad you like the mask. Sometimes I get tired of making it, but really it is such a special design. I'll probably always make these.
