(Glass Beads)

Masks I just love masks, they are simply facinating. Mystical, magical and extremely important within the cultures where they are still used. I have several ideas for mask designs and this is where I will post them.

Here is my first in this series. This design is loosely based on Polynesian style masks. Steel blue base, violet , raku and black detail. He is 54mm long and roughly 22mm in diameter. Not perfect, but I like the design and will work on it.

I think these are coming along nicely. I tried cobalt for the eyes this time and really like it. This guy is 47mm in length and 25mm across.

This is a new mask design that I'm playing with. More of a relief on a 1 1/2" lentil shaped bead. I am happy with this first attempt but want to work on the eyes somemore. Eyes and mouths are the hardest for me.

I wanted to do some female masks, similar to african Punu masks, this is my first attempt and she really isn't even close to what I wanted, but I did learn alot so I hope the next will be better.

The Eyes
Thanks for the compliments! Yeah, the eyes... I wasn't sure if people would find them creepy or just sort of intense. The glass I used is Effetre transparent dark teal over white.
