FullSteam Leather Mask 2011

Description

As long as I'm making steampunk masks, I decided to recreate my favorite "Full Steam" mask, so I could get better pictures. :-D

As ever, this mask is carved out of one piece of 8oz leather by hand...I never use stamps or molds in my process. I painted this with some wonderful Liquitex acrylics in great gold-through-copper tones. Finished with a brown antiquing stain, then drybrushed with antiqued gold for a burnished effect.

The mask is a detail of the workings of a German watch dating back to 1890. I kept the scrollwork & flourishes because I think that's the essence of Steampunk; Antique Technology.

This mask can be requested and purchased only at my online Etsy shop: [link]
