The making of the mask

The mask has been sculpted using traditional techniques. 

·        The leather has been shaped using fingers and some hand tools

·        The leather is strengthened to better retain its shape

·        The inside of the mask has moisture repellent treatment

·        There are about 20 individual steps to complete a mask

Materials used

·        Full-grain vegetable tanned cowhide - the highest quality leather

·        Professional leather acrylic paint

·        Flexible leather varnish

·        White velvet ribbon tying

Size

The leather mask retains some flexibility and will fit most adult shapes and sizes of head.  If an edge feels uncomfortable, gently move it using only fingers.

How to care for the mask

·        The mask does not require any treatment of conditioning

·        Sweating will not damage the mask but never wash, soak or wear it in the rain!  If the mask does get wet, you will have to recreate the shape, support it and allow it to dry naturally

·        To clean the mask, wipe it with a soft dry cloth

I hope the wearer will be happy with the design and quality!
