I ask: only do you work the leather?? I work the papier mache and there is admirable the realism that you manage to achieve.

So this would be meri-unmasked, then? You're quite a lovely young lady and although I'm not surprised that you have a daughter, I am surprised that she's old enough to wield a camera. It seems you've surprised a few of us with that.

That is indeed me! & I am lucky to have a baby-face...I'm actually 43 (my daughter Charlotte is 16).

Seriously? And here I thought you were younger than me! Revel in the baby face, you'll be making other women jealous for many years to come.

Thank you (my daughter Char did an awesome job...she wants to be a photographer). We took that pic against the neighbor's pine tree. It leans over our driveway & sways alarmingly in storms, but it's served as a good background for my art on a number of occasions.

Lovely photo. It's great to see the artist with heir work. I also love how this puts your masks in perspective as far as size.
(ChibiButterfly, I agree, she doesn't look old enough to have a daughter. )

I should really put more pictures of the masks being worn in here...it's just hard to get good quality pics (& permission), but I ought to try.
LOL you guys are too kind; my daughter is 16 and I'm 43, but thank you so much!
