little masks

Recommended Posts

I was asked to make a couple of mask for a 2 1/2 year old girl! It was left up to me to decide what to make, so here they are. One crown and one butterfly.

Absolutely lovely, she will be so pleased - but i'm keen to know how do they do up? Do you fix strings or elastic or something? They look too fine and delicate to support anything too thick or strong...

ray, they are not delicate at all. After the leather drys it become quite stiff, this makes them tough masks for kids and should last a long time. i use thin hat elastic in a double strand. two little holes on both sides.

russell, our leather is measured in millimetres as a thickness. the leather i used was veg tanned calf skin. it was sold as 1.2mm, sometimes i use 2mm, but never any thicker as it is to hard to mold.

Beautifully done! I assume you air brush, but do use dye?...it looks more like acrylics...but won't they crack or peel? Great job!

hidepounder, the paint is acrylic, but it is promoted as being flexible and suitable for leather...never had any cracking or peeling. This airbrush paint is made locally in my home town.

The masks look great. Everyone seems to find what they are good at and you seem to have definately found your niche. Keep showing us pictures of your work.
