Oooo, masks!

Posted on December 8, 2008 by Trystan
Tatted Lace Mask

I just found these tatted lace masks on Etsy (via Instructables, where I was doing research for work, honest).

That could be perfect for Carnivale! See, at Antonia Sautter’s atelier, I tried on a lace mask that fit pretty nicely over my glasses. It was intended to. And I’d thot about trying to make such a thing myself — lace fabric, stiffened w/starch, molded over a shape that includes my glasses.

But this Etsy artist might save me the trouble. I could give her an outline of my glasses shape and have her make a mask (in black) that fits over it. Then I could *see* in costume and be masked at Carnivale.
