First Post, First Two Masks

[Tgrlily]

I've been lurking, studying and trying to work with leather for about two months. Figure it's time to stop lurking! I so far suck at tooling, but love sculpting leather masks.

My first mask was from an end scrap on a 3-4 oz hide. It was cut freehand, dried wrong so it's way too soft, but it looks great on me. I actually made a template for the next one drawn from looking at pics on websites. I sculpted and dried this one much better than the first! Also my first two attempts at airbrushing using a cheap harbor freight airbrush. Feel free to critique! I know the first one sucks.

For those that sell them, how do you price them? I'm shocked to say that I was invited to vend at an arts festival this spring but have no clue how to price anything! Since it's an erotic arts fest and part of the festivities is a masquerade ball, I'm hoping/guessing sales will be good if I design a wide enough variety.

So... Here they are!

Very nice work !

By the way the first one is my favourite.

Thank you! I plan on doing a similar design but more sculpted to hold a firmer shape. The soft style would be nice for blindfolds!

Price them T+ M and keep a very accurate account book, IMHO.

They all look good to me. Just keep at it and make sure to search the forum and ask questions. Looks like you are on a good start
