Those are *VERY* nice. You know, every year at Pennsic someone asks you about Venetian-style masks. It might be worth taking a few of those.
I particularly like the blue "raven" piece. Big shock, with my obsession for all things blue.
I played with the metallic paint pens before I went into gold leaf, and clogging/blotching was always a hazard. Eventually you'll get a feel for when it's about to do something horrible. Be careful with those - a lot of them use xylene as the solvent, and that is some serious bad stuff. Good ventilation is a must - I made myself really sick with it once.
The Pennsic class list has come out, so I'll be drawing up my class schedule soon. We could actually have a tenative schedule before we head out this year (assuming that you still want help at the booth...)
