Just 3″ in diameter (not counting that oh-so-soft fluff of feathers), with a spray of French veiling and a solitary gem accent. A spring-clip barrette sewn to the back keeps it in place.

Venetian-style half-mask collaged with hand-written music notation and rich red acrylic, with a patch of tarnished surface and a trim of antiqued gold braid. The embellishment at the forehead is from my collection of vintage costume jewelry.
I have one more half-mask to go before I move on to Elementals.

Black satin and printed black fabric with braided trim, a small teardrop amulet at the center of her forehead and plumes of black guinea hen and brightly-dyed goose feathers at one temple. I think she’s rather Pennsylvania-Dutch-meets-Day-of-the-Dead-ish. Multicultural!

An Art Deco-style mask featuring a 3″ crown of ruffled wired ribbon spangled with gold glitter, elegant serpentine sequined trim, dyed goose feathers in brilliant blue, and a vintage brooch accent.

The tiniest of cocktail hats, this one measures a mere 3″ across, not counting the plumage. The base is a rich red paisley fabric encircled in gold braid and topped with a spray of tulle, extra-long guinea hen feathers, and a pearl-and-rhinestone accent.
