'The Egyptian Mask'

This mask was a commissioned piece for October 2006. My first mask for a male. The customer designed the mask and chose which colors he wanted.

It is made entirely of layered paper and a glue mixture. I used Lumiere acrylic paints for the decoration and the backside is padded as well as decorated with a thick brocade fabric and matching trim.
-Due to short notice I had three days and two nights in which to create and finish this mask. Due to the short notice the mask's price went up a bit, but the customer was understandable about it.

*It's good to know that I can accomplish the making and decoration of a mask such as this in such short time, but it's not something I would chose to do again! ;D
