Dragon Wall Hangings

[finelineleather]

So, these guys aren't masks, they're wall hangings, but I don't know where else to put them! Masks seemed most appropriate.

On the left we have Wilifred. An aquatic dragon, he spent years in the Caribbean, where he lived in a sunken ship.

On the right, is Snurg, who guarded an abandoned iron mine and smelter.

They're life size, and the only things not leather are the eyes and teeth. I showed them at DragonCon, and they're going to be going with some of my other dragons, to an art gallery showing shortly.

Wow!

Very nice work. They look like trophies, have you ever considered putting them on a shaped plaque?

[finelineleather]

Due to epic clumsiness on my part, I am forbidden from using power tools of any type. So, using a jigsaw and creating a shaped plaque is out of the question, sadly.

The base on those is a thin piece of plywood I found, covered in 10 oz leather.

Other than that, any suggestions on ways to improve the next batch?

Heh, you can buy them, premade, in various sizes. I don't fo much with powertools for similar reasons.. If you're interested, I can drop you a couple of links via a PM. Also, I can give you some leads on some other things you might be in interested for your art pieces.
