MikeG Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 I'd be interested in knowing if this type mask is totally for display or if people actually wear them? If so, how do you put a strap or other retainer on? Great work! Yes, if you can find a prettier model, they would display better. Until you find that female mannequin, maybe you could do a self portrait? Quote

Members Harma Posted February 28, 2008 Members Report Posted February 28, 2008 Hi, Great looking mask you got there. I'm wondering how you stiffen the leather and still have the colours come out so nicely. I've been dabbling a bit with mask making and tried to harden them with wax, however that changes the colours quite a bit. When I try thicker leather however I find it a problem to mold all the shapes into the mask that I want. Do you have some suggestions for me to toy around with? Best regards, Harma Quote
Members LarryB Posted February 29, 2008 Members Report Posted February 29, 2008 That mask turned out really nice. Thanks for sharing Quote www.larrysleatherwork.com
