Did you paint this entirely by hand? It looks stunning!

Beautiful!! I can see this on a man or a woman. Would make a great Snow Queen or King costume.

I dind't have a chance to comment on this until ow- and I'm glad I'm taking the time. While I'm bias to the content [Snow?! OH YAH!], I have to admit that it still exceeds the artistic beauty in it's simplistic design- you captures the exact minimalist complexity of the snowflake and translated it superbly to your medium. Of course, the additive of the small gems and spirals only enhance the subtly of the expected "sparkle" effect, without being an eyesore or over done. It's a stunning mask.

I have to admit, when I first saw this the first thing I thought of was my countries flag (Canada) with the maple leaf. Though I suppose it's rather ideal, Canada is "the great white north".

beautiful! Very stunning, i love the silver designs around the eyes, and the light blue rhinestones on the crown. It reminds me of Khione, the Greek goddess of snow.

Beautiful and unique, a very lovely mask. The rhinestones are a charming touch, and I can just imagine the sparkles they give off when the wearer moves in the light.

Saw this first on my Facebook feed and went directly to your Etsy to see if it was still available. It is (for now) and if it still is tonight I'm going to try my darnedest to get my husband to buy it for me!
Also, this would look pretty awesome in red as some kind of fire sprite... maybe we'll see an 'elemental' series from you one day?

In red...hmm! With bronze designs and gold swirls and red & gold crystals...that would be pretty awesome. Then I could do a "Fire And Ice" pair. Thanks for the idea!

Well, hubby did not take the subtle and not-so-subtle hints about purchasing this for me. Silly, useless man. So I've done it myself!

I like this one. It looks beautifully wintry and cold while still being wearable. And it's appropriately royal-looking too.

Gorgeous! The blue really adds a simple yet elegant touch, and the silver around the eyes adds a mysterious, shy, and sad kinda look. Not to mention the gems, adds a slight glamour and definitely sorta ice-princess-like suited for a masquerade. Brilliant job once again, and though it's been said loads, I LOVE the swirls, wish I had a paint pen like that, I'd use it loads too.

Thank you. You know...the paint pens are really easy to find actually. They're Pen-Touch Sakura pens with an extra fine point. You can find them usually where the paints are, or where the scrapbooking stuff is, at almost any craft/art supply store.
