Description
Here's all three views of the mask put together.
It used to be painted green with a goatee, but I got rid of all that and used metal to decorate it instead.
The idea is that I commonly (I'm sure alot of other people do to) say I'm doing good, or I'm happy, but really I'm just using my face as a mask to hide what I feel inside. Be it either loneliness, or heart break, etc. This mask is a manifestation of that concept. It's strong as metal, but still, it gets much abuse (used a rather course grit sanding wheel on a dremel and made a bunch of verticle lines across the entire piece) It also has tears of rivets running down the left side.
Now as for major decoration, there's gears on the left side. Cut my finger up with the smallest one (drilling the centre hole and it turned into a saw and bit my finger, not cleanly either) They represent how it works like clockwork, I'm asked how I'm doin' and I give the same answer... always. Clockwork
The other side of the face has a pretty border around it and in the middle of that there's an arrow pointing backwards, toward the dot. So as to say there's something in behind, this isn't as you see it.
Then there's the ties on the sides. Rather all ragged and tattered due to frequent use of the mask and on them are beads of bone, egg, wood, and glass. Sort of keeping the natural materials in there to make up for all the metal there is. protecting... hiding
