The mask, unmasked!

[rhienelleth]

Yes, well.  My picture taking skills are not up to the task of doing this mask justice.  You'll just have to trust me when I say, it sparkles so much more than this.  And I'm still have lighting issues, but at least these have a faint gray cast instead of fairly intense "parchment" look. 

L's dress is pink and silver, and she's dressing as a Fairy Queen, thus the color scheme here.  I'm not going to make these smaller, so you'll be able to see the detail (as much as I could capture, anyway).  I even talked L into modeling it for one pic, even though she really didn't want to, after a long work day, etc.  I'll take better pics when she's all dressed up wearing it. :)  (Hopefully.)

A couple of close-up pics:




And L, wearing the mask because she's nice:

Seriously, you guys have no idea how bummed I am that I can't take better pics of this.  The grand total of Swarovksi crystals was somewhere over 150.  I stopped counting mid-hundred.

I think I'm going to shape my next one a little differently, but all in all, not bad for a prototype. :)

Thanks. :) I admit I'm a tad pleased with it. I'm eager to start mine, out of gold fill, once my fingers get a rest.

I'm glad you like it. :) I think my next one will improve on this one a bit. I'm going to start on it this weekend, I think.
