Lace Masquerade Masks.

I made some Lace Masquerade Masks, with netting and hot glue.

Lace masquerade mask tutorial (using hot glue!) 

As suggested in the video, I used Wax paper instead of Cling wrap.

I worked on a glass sheet that I had. These are some of the templates I used.

I taped the template onto the glass sheet, then wax paper and then netting.

Hint: I keep my glue gun in a tape dispenser.

When the glue gun was hot enough, I traced the design with Hot glue.

Because I am working on a glass sheet I can turn it around.

Hint: Melt away the glue gun strings with a hairdryer.

When I was satisfied, I removed the template and wax paper, I cut the mask out and the eyes open. I soaked the mask in hot water and molded it onto a brass mask that I have, you can also do it on your face.

 

I balanced the mask on a matchbox to paint.

I used a paintbrush and acrylic paint.

I decorated the mask with ribbon, feathers, sequins and Ranger Ink - Stickles Glitter Glue - Black Diamond.

Mardigras

We went to the annual Mardigras at Mardas loop, we have been there once before, and it has grown bigger. It is mostly a street market, they close of the street and there are stalls in the street. They also filled one block with sand for a beach Volley competition. There were also some lovely clowns. (Shiners) One an old man, was dressed as a Tramp and posed with me. We saw many dogs; the cutest was a Rotweiler wearing Mardigras beads.

"Marda Loop is one of Calgary's trendiest shopping districts, and each year Marda Gras is an opportunity to discover the neighborhood's charms. The street festival features over 250 artisan tables, 10 amusement rides, food, entertainment on two stages, a unique car show and a beach volleyball pitch. There is also a climbing wall, free hot dogs and, of course, popular beer gardens. A Kid's Corner offers a variety of children's activities including face painting."
