There were tons of masks to choose from in all the various touristy gift shops, but I found three fabulous masks to choose from, and lacy, crackly cream mask, a black sparkly mask, and an orange one.
I was torn between the three, but finally decided on the orange one, since I have some fabulous orange taffeta in my stash that has been begging to be turned into something, and now I have an accessory to force myself to make something from it! Something involving a mask…….
UPDATE: The lovely Praksedys has suggested this gown……I completely and utterly agree! The slashing! The crazy hat! The embroidered bands!
…..now to find a masked ball…………..
Slashing and a crazy hat? http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/search_the_collection_database/search_object_image.aspx Orange is my favorite color. Can't wait to see what you eventually do?
ReplyDeleteSlashing and crazy hat....sounds just up my alley!
