Hooked on Masks

I find masks so fascinating.  Although I find them captivating (and some are simply gorgeous) that does not mean that I like all masks (there are some really creepy ones out there and I am not just talking about the rubber kind you see at Halloween).

 

I really love to look at Venetian Carnival masks like these

 

and even just lace covers

especially like the one Audrey Hepburn wore in “How to Steal a Million” make me giddy.

 

I would love to own one of TotusMel’s tatted masks (she even has full instructions on Instructables.com if I ever find myself wanting to tat (and I do somewhat want to learn)).  (Check out everything she tats… beautiful and so much work, she does a great job at what she does.)

 

And look at this fabulous wire one from Crowns and Tiaras

 

I am highly disappointed that I can not find pictures or a link to the most amazing masks I have ever seen.  They are these huge elaborate masks covered in feathers (one was a giant lion head).  It was several years ago at the Kings Mountain Art Fair where friends of mine were vendors. 

 

If I find the link, or even a picture, I’ll update it here… until then I’m off to look at more beautiful masks.

These are gorgeous--and I love the photos of Audrey in hers!

Always fascinating but spooky.
