Description Another leather dragon mask. Is everybody good and sick of my dragons right about now? I hope not! I want to keep experimenting with this pattern...it lends itself well to a three-color combination and there are still SO many combinations I want to try. Black, green & copper is the next one. Well...eventually anyway.

This one has a really nice cat's eye cabochon inlay. I tried to match the color with my paint but the blue turned out too frosty (I mixed too much pearlescent white in there). I guess I don't mind; the contrast is interesting.

This mask (and many more) can be seen (and even purchased!) at my online Etsy shop: [link]

It's really amazing and beautiful! I can't tell in the picture, but are the scales carved/stamped or just painted? Either way, it looks fabulous. If it is stamped, do you have any suggestions for how to use stamps on leather masks? I've been starting to play around with leather, but I am having a hard time integrating the molded form and the carving/stamping. I would love some tips if you have any!

Thanks! Blue is my fave color so I loved making it (if I have to be paint-speckled, it might as well be my fave color)

rockleesgirl [2008-12-10 01:33:49 +0000 UTC]

beautiful work! I am definatly not sick of your dragons! i think a gold and blue on would look nice, and maybe lend itself to a more oriental look.
i am personally looking forward to the green and bronze look, like an aged bronze sculpture! keep up the good work!

Oh good...I feel like I'm overloading everyone with dragons. ^_^ Then again, not a lot of mask artist make dragon masks so I guess it's still kind of special. *hates being ordinary*

I think that you're better off for not having the gem match the paint colour perfectly; it makes the gem stand out.
