Description
Here's another fun custom request: a Blue Fennec Fox mask. I changed my original fennec design slightly; the old one looked really cute, but the tiny fennec face was a bit too small to wear comfortably. This one fits just like my regular fox design, but with big fennec ears.As ever, this is hand-carved 8oz vegetable tanned tooling leather...each hair is meticulously cut into the surface of the mask with a ceramic blade. The mask is free-formed with heat and water, by hand, and then painted with Liquitex acrylics.

I love the icy blue shades of this one. The big bat-like ears really dominate it, but also give the proper proportions to it's overall scale and appearance.

Wow! I adore the blues in this!! And those amazing ears? Is the mask sturdy enough to support those lovely ears? Amazing job on the fur markings as well. Absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you. Just a little tweak but the extra 3/4 inch on each side makes it fit so much better.

Thank you. Fennecs are already so "over the top" naturally...they make perfect mask subjects 'cause they hardly look real as it is.
