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. |

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it.... It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk
The sharp curves coming out of the sides of the face are fabulous as well as the tines at the top of the mask. The jewelery in the middle is a very nice feminine touch, I think!
-I definitely see the 'scaly texture' you mentioned -mostly around the corners of the eyes, and the nose is fantastic!

-I don't think it's bad having the female's mask be smaller, actually. It adds a nice quality to the duo. But I can see what you're saying about the diminished details due to the smaller work-space.
I need to work on more 'masculine' masks...all of my masks, unless especially made for a male, are feminine...which isn't really good, I think.

Thank you, however - I'd have to agree with you, especially after seeing your stenciling work X.X
