Description
A second permutation of the Ginkgo Fox...I'm drawing the leaves on freehand when I make the pattern, so there are variations.

This is made of hand-shaped, hand carved leather. My own original design.

I'm using Liquitex acrylics with these masks, but I find I get deeper more durable coverage if I use an alcohol-based dye first. The acrylics are colorfast and permanent but they sit on the surface; the dye goes deep into the leather & cuts down on the coats of paint you need to get a rich solid color. Then I do a black watered-down antiquing stain overall, to show off the detail in the carving.

As ever, you can find my masks for sale here: [link]
