Description A close-up of the scroll-work on my 'Charm' beaky mask, which I made for the Carnivale in Venice, 2010.
Mask is papier-mache and leather, and various decorative techniques. The entire effect was so dark that I've had to really pull the brightness up on this photo so that the work is visible.

Stunningly beautiful and almost mysterious design. I could see that in a movie

Ah thank you! The best part about this was the effect it had on small children. They really didn't know what to make of it.

Excellent detailing on the face - the sworls turned out majestically! And the lace & feathers add wonderfully to the character.

Amazing textures with just a hint of iridescence from the mask details. Awesome!

So cool! Black on black IS hard to photograph, but it looks great! I love the asymmetry of the headdress part -- adds to a sinister feel.

Gorgeous scroll work! I'm so jealous you got to be there for carnivale! When I was in Venice it was summer, but the city definitely made it's impression on me! <3
