Description
This one really grew on me as I was making it. It's kind of strange that I make such a point to name my masks in a way other than just 'Mask 1' or 'Half face Orange/Gold and Black'. Maybe I just love the idea of creating a whole nother persona just from one piece. This one kept reminding me of a kind of goblin style (although some don't have any idea where I'm coming from lol
), so who better to name it after than 1970's experimental glam rock sensation David Bowie in Labyrinth? I might change it to a better fitting one later, but who knows!Mask is hand cut and shaped from 8oz. leather, and then hand painted!
As always, thanks for looking! <3

I'm always so impressed with how your hand-painted efforts turn out, and as someone mentioned, the use of metallic orange with a matte black was a really good way to go on this. This one definitely reminds me of Jareth.

The trouble with the title is that now I really want to make the mask he wears in the ballroom scene from Labyrinth! Damn you and your inspirational powers David Bowie!

Nah, it looks like a Jareth. (And you're not alone, I used to name my hats when I was into 'em!) Which reminds me, I still need to see Labyrinth...

DROP EVERYTHING.
A LIFE WITHOUT LABYRINTH IS A LIFE HALF-LIVED.

Okay, SLIGHT exaggeration there, but it's most amusing. The pants he wears...the pants!
