I thought that people here would be entertained by these. I was at a Renaissance Faire a few weeks ago and cringed at the prices of masks ($55 for the most basic ones), so I walked over to the tanner's stall and bought myself a piece of super thin leather to work with. I’m rather pleased with how they’ve been turning out, but I still need more practice. Good thing I’ve got a few more feet of leather.
Arrakis: Both are made out of very thin veg-tanned leather, wetted down with a spray bottle and then shaped while I applied heat with a scrapbooking embossing heat gun.
The mask with all the cut outs in it was painted with a dark brown acrylic paint. And the feather mask was done with leather dye on the feather bits and shoe polish on the beak. I've basically been just working with what I have.
I make masks, holsters, scabbards, leather clothes(some) and armor. If you want to see it, Kreiger, Look. It would be rude to derail this girls thread with my nonsense. FB
