Recently, my daughter, Andy, decorated some masks for her dance group.
She used acrylic paints, glitter glue, ribbon, and feathers. Here is a photo of Andy applying glitter glue.
I enjoyed watching each mask emerge with its own unique look.
Here is a side view of the mask and feathers.
Some of the masks were already painted by my other daughter, Elya, and just slightly altered.
The vibrant colors of this mask flow into spindly feathers.
This mask is decorated with gold glitter glue and gold leafing.
Andy used maroon ribbon to create a theatrical effect.
Yes, decorating masquerade masks is a fun activity, which can provide hours of entertainment. Here is a photo of the finished masks Andy gave to the members of the dance group she performs with. She later told me that they were ecstatic to receive such treasures.
