Things I Like - Merimask Designs
Anyone attending a masquerade party? You will definitely need one of these artisan leather masks handmade by Andrea Masse-Tognetti. She is a celebrity leather artist - she has done work for Cirque du Soleil and her masks are available in several galleries in the States, she has also made the masks for Toyko's Muscle Musical Magicarade, plus she has appeared on The Martha Stewart Show in Oct last year (http://www.marthastewart.com/article/leather-unicorn-mask). What a glorious resume! Each of these masks, as Andrea puts it, are "made from 100% high-grade leather, & no two items are alike. Each is a signed, dated (in some cases, numbered) piece. Everything, unless otherwise specified, is designed to be wearable art, & is constructed with durability in mind." Looking at her shop, I feel like I'm in an art gallery. My favourite one is the White Tiger (top RH corner). Roll over to her shop for a closer look - http://merimask.etsy.com/
