Day of the Dead Orange flower masquerade mask

Description

This particular mask is for sale over at my etsy store - [link]

A Day of the Dead (also known as Dia de los Muertos) mask! I've always found them to be so beautiful. They are traditionally made from paper maché, but I thought I'd try my hand at a leather version which will combine the beautiful painting and design of the traditional masks, but with the durability that only leather can give.

This beautiful mask is truly wearable art. It would be perfect for Halloween, a masquerade dance, and, of course, Day of the Dead celebrations. This mask is light weight and comfortable to wear, but would look wonderful as a piece hung on a wall.

The base of the mask is white and the design is painted freehand in black. There are painted flower pedals around the eyes, some black swirls, and a flower center on the forehead. There is a cloth orange flower off to the side with a skull center piece. Behind that, there are feathers in black, white, gray, and yellow.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

The black and white is so striking. How do you keep coming up with different designs? They're all so pretty.
