I gave myself a project to do over the summer to stop myself going crazy in those hours where I can't do something more productive. And considering my first mask was such a success, I thought I'd do a second.

I found lots of pictures from the internet of venetian masks, and took ideas from several to create one with a Victorian style. Note the off-white creams and the dirtied corners, to make it seem aged. As if it was once a stunning pearl white gem, but now it's seen a few years - if kept in good condition. I also chose burgundy, as it's often noted as one of the royal colours, and suggests a rich history, embellished with pearl beads

As my friends will tell you, I take pictures at every available moment. Mostly as a record for myself (I have a pretty poor memory) but partly because natural photos can capture the essence of how we were feeling at the time, which is something much more difficult to remember. Manerisms, quirks, facial expressions - all tells on how wonderful life can be.
*woo, sorry, bit sentimental there...*
My point was that I also like taking pictures of progression, so I collated the photos of the main stages, so I can remember in the future the effort that went into every detail. I only wish I'd done the same for my first mask...

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy my craftsmanship, I certainly enjoyed making it!

Love to you all xxx
