New masks.

[merimask]

 Rainy day.  I kept myself occupied all weekend (trying to keep my mind off my wounded car).  Here are some custom masks I just finished.
Wood Spirit.

This mask was commissioned by a guy who wanted something sort of like the Spriggan Mask, but a bit more animalistic.  Sort of like a cross between a Spriggan and a goat.  He intends to wear this with goat horns.  I think it's a heck of a lot of fun.  The bugs & butterfly were his idea.
From the side.

Also, this:
Venetian Cat with moon & star.

For his wife...a Venetian cat to match her gown.  In blue, white, & purple.  She likes compass stars & half-moons so I worked those in, too.
It's a really cute mask.  

I had my friend gierny & her husband over today.  It was fun, chatting with friends.  I made sushi for us girls (the guys had to have pizza because they won't eat seaweed), & we watched the Buffalo Bills get maimed & crippled in the season opener.

I'm still busy as heck, working on a big order from a new client; Wild Birds Unlimited.  They're in Delaware.   This is only one of about 300 stores of the same name...it's a national franchise.  I may have stumbled into my first national chain account, which would be awesome.   They're interested in my "nature-related" items, like the butterfly pins & the leaf keychains & barrettes, but since I threw some pictures of my non-fantasy-type masks in the info packet (wolf, fox, lynx, owl masks), they've decided to try those too.  How cool is that?

 
EDIT:  OMG now Greg's car is dead too.  It died the same way.  If it's the timing belt I'm going to freaking split a seam.   I just had it towed to Mike's as well, and it's a damn good thing I have AAA.  WE HAVE NO CARS AT ALL NOW.

At least you *had* the gallery money to be gone. These things usually happen to us when we're completely tapped out.
