Mardis Gras Mask Design

In light of Mardis Gras and such, I figured I should do a post about the mask designs. I've always found masks to be particularly amazing - there are many lovely designs, not just in Mardis Gras, but Renfest and Halloween. I'll focus on Mardis Gras here, though.

Many of the masks use feathers and floral elements to accentuate the eyes.

I love the jewel in the middle especially. I always love the feathers and the explosions of color in these masks. They transform the person wearing it, which will always thrill me. They create their own character for you to wear, much like design elements can inform the personality of a piece, which I talked about before.
