Description
I love making animal masks, and I love steampunk, so this mask was a really silly whimsical thing I made one day that ended up being a wildly popular design. Also, it was fun for me to name (wordplay on one of my favorite books/movies; "A Clockwork Orange").Anyway, Like all my work, this mask is hand carved from 8oz leather, shaped without a mold or form, & painted with a combination of Liquitex acrylics & acrylic antiquing stains in burnished gold and copper on black, to simulate the look of steampunk clockwork gears.

Wow! Just wow! I stumbled upon your work and I'm hooked. So far this is one of my favorite masks of yours! I'm just in love with it!
Just out of curiosity, do you make multiples of each mask design? (Like this one for example) Or is it only the original that you sell?

Thanks very much...I'm glad you like my work. ^_^
Yes, I save all my patterns so I can recreate masks all the time. In fact I just finished two more of those Clockwork Foxes tonight (you will find one of them at my Etsy shop, just follow the link in my sig below). There are tiny variations but my work is really consistant.

Oh thank you so much! You've really made my day! I now have something to save for! *laughs*
Custom wise, can you get a custom of any mask or only certain ones? Because I see the custom option on the Unicorn masks as well as the Fantasy Wolf one.
Sorry for all the questions, I looked around for the answer but couldn't seem to find it.

Sure, I can do remakes or custom colors on any of my designs. The message at the top of my front page explains everything...you just go to my "sales" section there in Etsy(or this DA gallery if that's easier), send me a link of the mask you want with any color modifications, & I'll make it for you. All custom orders are pre-paid only, though.

THIS was the one I was drooling over. I love where you positioned the gears and the different metallics used to paint it! Just gorgeous!!!

Nice. I like the divergence from your usual stuff. I hope to see you explore more of these sorts of ideas.

I love this one. I'm new to steampunk, but it's growing on me fast. A dragon design like this would be wicked cool.

I really like this one but maybe its because I love steam punk stuff

Love the colors and design! You should make a clockwork dragon or one that looks somewhat cybernetic.

Now this rocks. The black background gives a stark background for the rich copper, bronze and brass of the gears and other shapes/forms.

I love A Clockwork Orange! I like how you put the cog on the eye to signify Alex's fake eyelash. I don't know if that was your intention. xD
