New masks
As promised, some pictures of my new masks.
In other news, I am SO happy that our nation's multi-billion dollar Homeland Security Act has protected us from...Meatwad. Way to go! Yeah, I guess if you squint and tilt your head a little, the 'Lite-Brite" display of a Moononite flipping the bird might look like a bomb. *sigh* Maybe I'd be more inclined to be outraged by it all if the freaking displays hadn't been out in public for weeks and weeks...I guess they SUDDENLY looked bomb-like on Wednesday (wednesdays will do that to ya...more people don tinfoil hats on wednesdays than on any other day of the week...it's true!). What's next, exploding Wile E Coyote displays? Beware packages that look like HUGE anvils with "ACME" printed on the sides! We need to coin a new term for this phenomenon; "Cartoon-Terrorism".
And OMG if Sessoumaru dies I am going to be monumentally pissed-off. It'll cause a great disturbance in The Force...almost as if millions of fangirls "squeeee!" all at once, and are silenced. Takahashi (as I was pointing out last week) has a penchant for using "one word" titles for the chapters where characters are killed off. "Wind" for Kagura, "Light" for Kikyo, "Void" for poor little Kanna. I swear if I see that next week's title is something like "Pride" I am just NOT going to read it. *shakes head*
They're not really "new", since I do these all the time. I have a basic "half-mask" pattern that I trace out on the leather. Then, with a stylus, I etch a dragon onto one side of the mask (most often with the wing sticking out beyond the edge 'cause I just like it that way), and then I cut out and carve the whole thing. Usually, I do the mask in black and they look like this:
...but I felt like getting colorful so I did the blue & gold mask above, as well as these two:
I'm curious to see what people think of them. I'll find out next week in Kalamazoo, I guess.

Here's a close-up of Amaterasu. I had fun adding those swirly details to the face. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a233/merimask/Okamimasks004.jpg
I should have some at Pennsic...I always get a kick out of doing something obscure from video games/anime fandom and then quietly observing how many people recognize it. :-)

(Self, stop obsessively imagining an Ammy-face flat peyote stitch piece. You don't have the right colors in your bead stash and you really, really should be finishing up OTHER projects, not starting new ones! I don't care if it's a shiny new inspiration, it needs to go on the back burner, stat!)
