Nature masks

Leave a comment

This years crop of greenmen masks have lost all their leaves in time for fall –  or how I really like carving ‘woodgrain’ patterns into leather…

Here are a few of this years newest crop of Forest Spirit themed masks currently posted in my Shop.

My intention for these nature fantasy masks are to have them be worn as part of an druid, elf, witch/sorcerer, or a really woodsy steampunk themed costume – for a Halloween or Larping event or even to attend a Masquerade Ball. Ultimately it is up to you what you do with the mask, be it constructing a costume or hanging it on your wall!

(Have you herd of the Labyrinth Masquerade Ball? It looks amazing i’m in awe of the costumes, seriously, check out the photo gallery)

I really appreciate the interest and enthusiasm everyone has had for these nature style masks in the last few years; especially for use in theatre and film. I can’t believe its been over a year since I got a an order for 25  of my ‘Druid Warrior’ masks shipped out and sent off to bigger things! (see the instagram post below)

Thank you for all the enthusiasm for these masks over the last few years!

 

 

Bonus: These three masks were made in celebration of the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse! Two of these are still up in my shop. **The crescent moon, my favorite, has sold.

A Word about Halloween (& Return Orders)

Leave a comment

October Has Arrived! Fall is my most favorite time of year, while its getting colder and the leaves are getting crunchier the fruits of my labor grow near… one of the few times of the year masks are wanted, nay needed, Halloween!

This is the fun bit:

I have released a few new styles of resin mask, all of which can be seen in the below gallery. Some are posted in my shop pre-painted, others are listed as ‘DIY Blanks’ this means they sell at a reduced price from the fully finished masks as you would be doing some sanding and then painting the mask to any style you choose. That option is not for everyone, but for the do-it-yourselfers out there it is a fun project for an afternoon in.

I would love to hear what you think about the new resin masks down in the comment section, I’ll be doing a step by step post about the making of the Oni masks (the ones with the horns and fangs) and hope to get some discussion going about the process.

A bit of nasty business:

I can no longer accept return orders…Due to to a recent issues of people purchasing the masks, wearing them to a party then wanting to send them back after they have had their use of the mask, I will accept no more returns. Look for sanitary reasons you don’t really want to wear something that’s already been on someone’s face do you?

On principal I’m not going to send you a mask that has had someone’s sweaty face all up in it, and I’m not going to do that to anyone else either. This is not a ‘used mask’ shop. This is a handmade Costume Accessories shop.
You are welcome to cancel the order before it ships if you change your mind, However, once the item is shipped it is in the hands of the USPS mail carriers and the package can not be canceled or returned.
~I really hope you understand why I’m enforcing this policy you can check out my shop’s policies here  to learn more –
