Description
(2009) 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", paper mache, tempera paint, metallic paints and glazes, ribbonThe last of the four Death Eater masks I made this August. For this mask I used the drill to texture the mask surface once the body was finished and before priming and painting. This way the "metal" outside of the silvered inlay pattern looks like it was hammered into shape. Again, while the design is loosely based on the movie masks from the HP films, the actual pattern, mouth grille shape etc. are original.

Thank you. It really started with a slip of my Dremel, but now I'm happy it happened...

The texture on this is amazing. The metallic paint is really able to star here. wow! (My dreams would be filled with these if I worked with/on them, however...eek!)

The texture reminds me of old, porous bone. I love it.

Lol your house must be something to behold filled with masks and (I'm guessing) turn of the century decor suited to Harry Potter.
I always wanted a hobbit house myself but I adore the Burrough. It's messy but homey. I could live there. 
I'd imagine you living in a mansion fit for the Malfoys. Luxury all the way.

I also like hobbit architecture - it's existing within the landscape rather than dominating it. The Burrow sounds like fun, but I'm a bit too much of a neat freak to be able to survive there...
As for my own place - lots of pictures, lots of books and nice wood floors!

I think what draws me to hobbit architecture and the burrow is homeyness. Warmth and safety and kind of a nestling feeling.
I seriously would love to round all my doorframes and live underground with exposed beams, etc and simple designs. For the burrow, I think it's just the well-lived-in feeling and sense of love and, as I said before, a 'nest'
I'd love to live underground. I wouldn't have to worry about hurricanes and tornadoes anymore.

I miss basements, too. I grew up in two houses with basements back in Germany, and they are just great: places to store fruit preserves and potatoes, a bit spooky and mysterious because of the water heater and central heating for the house with its strange smell and noises, my father's woodworking shop with all his tools and the scent of turpentine and fresh sawdust, my mum's wash-kitchen where we'd hang up the fresh washed sheets and towels to dry. Texas homes also have no basements. Now I stuff everything into the shed and garage, but it's not the same...

That's a clever way of texturing! Awesome as always. You thinking to start your own DE group?

Yeah we should start a Dallas Chapter - more for the purpose of prancing around and looking cool rather than torturing muggles, though!

LOL You'd get a lot of interesting looks! Sounds fun. If I ever visit Dallas, I'm in!

Looks like something Cissa would wear... seems more "female" than the others to me.
Oh yeah, thouse mouths never cease to freak me out...

I specifically like the texturing on this one. Very effective.

Thank you! It was a case of my drill slipping while I carved the groove around the silver inlay design. So I decided to turn an accident into a virtue...
