Insipired by the beautiful masques seen at masquerades and Mardi Gras, these papier mache masques are modeled after the Italian Rennaisance. The masques are made from durable papier mache which is hand sculpted then sanded and sealed. Then they are painted, embellished, signed, varnished, and given the final touches. Most masques can be worn or displayed, while some are made specifically for display. If you see a masque you would like that is not for sale, I can make one for you, and can also make new designs on request.
