Artist's Comments

I thought it was time for something more recent to go into my gallery, so, this mask was finished JUST this morning.

I have been talking about doing a Persian Dragon mask for EVER. Every time I started it, something would come up (a commission, or I'd run out of leather) & I'd have to forget about it. Last time, I had the dragon all cut out & then I heard from Circus Juventas, who needed a red dragon for the stage...so that's what happened to my LAST Persian Dragon attempt.

So I just said the heck with it & cut this guy out & worked all night on him, so nothing else could stop me.

In the end I decided to call it a "Jeweled Dragon" because of the sparkly cat's eye cabochon I inlaid in the head.

Carved from one piece of 8oz leather, painted with liquitex acrylic paints.

This is "Jeweled Dragon #1" and is available for a short time RIGHT NOW at my online Etsy Shop: [link]

Thanks! :-)

It's been sitting in my head for so long, I had time to work it all out before I ever started it.

This is awesome. One of my favorites (a difficult thing to say since all your masks are so amazing) by far.

That came out pretty damned spiffy! Colours work really well together, which is odd because brown never comes to mind when I think of colour combinations. The black sets it off nicely, though.
