rhienellethI have started a new jewelry project that I'm soooooooo excited about!
The local 'old, one-movie theater' here in town is going to show a special screening of Phantom of the Opera here on the Friday night before Halloween. They're going to have a masquerade party before the actual movie, and my girlfriends and I are all going to go. I've been debating my costume/mask since last month. L is going to sew me a fancy dress to go with the awesome corset I purchased at last month's Ren Faire (I should post a pic of it; I keep forgetting.)
I was looking at masks yesterday online, and not finding anything I really like (other than some really cool, really expensive Venetian masks that would have to be imported...and of course, the masks at Goblin Art, but they don't have the right colors in stock for my costume, and it's getting kinda late to do a custom order). So I got to thinking - how hard could it be to make my own mask? And clicking on various 'how-to' links brought me to - hey, I bet I could make one with wire scultpure! And add a bunch of crystals and neat looking stuff. I did a mock up last night with cheap copper wire and silver plate, and it turned out better than I thought it would, so I'm ordering the stuff to do a 'real' one today. I'll post pics of the finished product when it's done. :D
