Description A mask that was inspired by the lovely leather armour that makes. A while ago he posted a tutorial showing how he does the scale effect on his dragon armour, and I thought I'd give the technique a try on a mask.

Sure - it's tooled in with a shaped tool, which I think is called a mule's foot.

It's hard to place favourites with your masks (because they're all freaking amazing) but this one is my new favourite right now! I love the scales... they're so perfect... it must have taken forever!

Even on a smooth mask, the colouring you've used would make it a beautiful piece, but the detailed texture really makes it come alive. Also the lighting is really rather special - it's made the tooling very crisply defined, and really shows off the backswept curves of the sides. Just lovely!

I think this is one of my favourite designs to make, too. I like tooling all the scales.

You could do wonders with a Papagino and Papagina pair of masks
