GypsyWind Report post Posted June 29, 2009 So these are the first 17 masks that I have made. I sold a few on the summer solstice and instantly went out for more leather supplies =) So im hoping to do another 20 or so in the next monthish..... My wonderful housemate Eugenia has been painting all of the masks for me. She is such a talented artist and im really glad that shes been working with me =) Iv been useing a old Buddah Statue Head for shaping the masks, but am looking forward to getting a few more face templates sometime in the future, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a quick few bits about what it is, http://www.chiff.com/a/summer-solstice.htm Us as a house get together, brew 10-15 gallons of home brew, buy tons and tons of differn ingredients to make Dolmas, Steam buns, Russian dumplings, Carribian safron rice with black beens and salsa, and tons of other food, and we host a big celebration at our house, everyone gets face or body paint, there are hoopers and musicans, and there is a HUGE parade down our main street that Ends in the park across the street from our hosue. I was lucky enough to live so close to the park that I just put a table at the end of my driveway with a tapestry and was able to sell some of my masks to people walking around. hope that helps =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suze Report post Posted June 29, 2009 you could make your own face templates -- not hard ever done a life cast of your face? That's what a friend does - sometimes he does a whole face but most often he just does to the top of the upper lip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what a friend does - sometimes he does a whole face but most often he just does to the top of the upper lip. I havnt yet done any castings of my face, I definitly want to have that setup so that I can make custome masks for people if they want. ill have to wait untill I sell a few more so I can go buy some supplies to make some castings tho Thanks for the information, hope you had fun. Did you manage to sell all your masks??Daniel not all of them but I did sell enough to get more leather and some hand stitching tools and threads, and also pay my friend who painted them, and buy THREE delicious sandwhich's this last week... Thats more then Iv eaten out in months lol... altho one lady that was looking at my masks said shes in charge of the local Theater productions and opra's and what not and might want to comission a large batch of masks for this next years plays and performances, so that would be really amazing if it pans out =) hi gipsy wind,famos masks this one with the cat is my favorite..
