Grey Wolf Mask

Posted Oct 14, 2007, 7:12:44 AM UTC

This Grey Wolf Mask is an old favorite theme of mine. Every time I do one, I draw it free-hand on the leather so it's different each time. This is made from one piece of 8 oz leather (about a quarter of an inch thick), hand carved & shaped by hand (no forms or molds).

Painted with a combination of alcohol dyes & acrylic paints. Awoo!

This is my kind of mask. Very nicely done

How many other masks have you done or are going to do?

  Thanks!
  
  Oh I've made hundreds of masks. I must have at least a hundred different designs by now. I've been doing them for 16 years.

  Thank you. I think the most innovative stuff comes from self-taught artists (like myself). We don't have any pre-conceived notions about what can or can't be done with any given medium. I don't know anyone who makes masks the way I do.

This is beautiful! The colors and textures are awesome, and you said this was leather? *gasp* I have to say, it's a little ironic that homecoming was tonight, and it was a masquerade, and I come home and find this on the front page. xD I have to say, it would have been soooo much easier to get a dress that would match this mask (would you believe how few decent black-and-gold dresses are out there? ) Anyways, I adore it, I want it, and the designs are making me swoon. ^____^

  Thank you. I like this design too, because it has so many neutral tones & it looks good on everyone. I get a big kick out of people having fun with my masks.
