Heading out...

[merimask]

Yeah.  "1, 2, 3...Kalamazoo!"  I'm bringing a bunch of new masks, new stuff that I came up with just for this show (since it's my first time as an exhibitor there and I'm all about shock and awe).  So, I combined my traditional fox mask with another popular motif I use often and came up with...Ivy Fox.

Now that I see it, it's a little Christmas-y.  Meh.  :::shrug:::   Also, I want to do something similar, but with grapes and grape leaves.  You know, like from Aesop's Fables, the fox and the grapes.  It's just an idea.

Also!  I managed to find enough leather (I nearly ran out of cow!) to do another dragon mask.

That stone I used for inlay is called a snake eye.  It's like the cat's eye cabochons I've used in the past, but...swirly.  It was a silvery black stone, but I didn't want to do a black and silver dragon again.  So...really really red, with black and silver.  Shock and Awe, baby.

And, I'm out of here.  Back on Sunday, hopefully with wads and wads of cash.  :-)

Just so you know, I think that dragon mask is gorgeous. It's almost mesmerizing, really. Good luck with selling! /random drive-by comment :P

That dragon mask...is so freakin cool!!! It looks so wicked (although the ears strike me as cute because they are so little ^^') and that stone is such an interesting touch. I love the scale texture. How long did this take you?

I like the stone very much. Where do you get them? I'd like to find a source.

I thought I'd peek into your LJ and saw these masks.

First thought: You... made these?
And then I recalled your username and laughed. Of course! ^_^

These are beautiful! I love the fox!
