Asian Dragon Maskby ~windinmysails

Artisan Crafts / Costumery / Masks

A papier-mâché mask that I made in 2010, constructed on a plaster cast of my own face (so it fits me perfectly).

I haven't uploaded it until now because I haven't really had any good pictures of it - also, I thought it'd be fitting to upload it in the Year of the Dragon.

The eyebrow feathers are from my love-bird (Agapornis Personatus) Gossamer (moulted, naturally - although I find it silly that this must be pointed out to some people, as if I'd actually torture him by pulling his feathers out for the sake of making a bloody mask, or anything else for that matter... *facepalm*).
The thin whiskers are barbs from a peacock feather.
The antlers were carved from small tree forks.
The teeth were cut out of a milk carton (i.e. white cardboard).
