Artist's Comments

When I designed my "Fullsteam" leather steampunk mask (which you can see if you check out my gallery), I liked the elements on each side of the mask so much that I did two more masks with one side plain brown leather & one side full of clockwork gear elements. This was the right side of the "Fullsteam" design, so I called it "Halfsteam".

The gearworks were drawn from life...I used a German watch as my model. Everything is carved by hand & painted with Liquitex metallic acrylic paints.

This mask has been sold, but can be commissioned at my Etsy shop: [link]

I love how you added designs to make the gears look more elegant

Thank you! I can't take credit for that, actually. The real watch had those etchings too. It is a turn-of-the-century antique watch & they really used to make beautiful things by hand 100 hears ago.

Wow..they really do, it's kinda sad that most things don't have details like that anymore.

I'm not sure why.. but I really think I like this one better.. something about the shape of it really appeals to me...

Thank you. :-)

I like this one best too...it's that point that follows the jawline I think. Really sexy & flows in an organic way even though it's machinery.
