Hare masks

Having finished seven hare masks I was pondering making other animals such as badger, hedgehog, deer, owl & c. perhaps using the designs from the Animal Masquerade set (artist’s book, house-coat and quilt) I made several years ago.

This quilt was a colour experiment, the design is digitally printed onto bamboo silk and still awaiting a border.

Here is Hare Mask no. 7 almost finished, with a few close-ups to show some texture.

Many of the fabrics used for this mask are organic silk, cotton, linen swatches with some non-organic natural material and the threads are sometimes cotton, some rayon and almost inevitably some polyester for the silver.
