Lady Dragon Mask

This mask was done as a partner to the Large Dragon in Red for a local masquerade ball. Dainty and petite, she is much more delicate in shape than her partner, and half the span - this mask was designed around a piece of leather with the most remarkable scaly texture and, unfortunately, a very restrictive size. I needed a more feminine mask for this occasion, and in keeping with her theme thought she might like a bit of treasure. Seven swarovski crystals drop between her slender tines, and her finish is a satiny burgundy stain.

On a personal note regarding the design, I really loved her nose. It gave it the right kick over into bestial that it needed, lest she be too prettily human.
