Every summer my friends and I make costumes and attend theLabyrinth of JarethMasquerade Ball in Los Angeles. In the past I have made a deer spirit, dragon, and a couple fish. Last year I had the idea of doing a light up tiki mask but the wedding plans kept me from having the time. This year I started in April and was able to finish it with no problems! My goals were to make it lighter than previous masks, better visibility by having it flip up, and to use glow wire in a thoughtful way (it can look super chintzy if done wrong). My friend Kelli also did a tiki mask and we had a great time at the ball :)
Cool tiki costume. Looks great. Neat application of light. Ironically, the framework mask looks even better than when filled in. Would've been interesting to see your face painted with a wooden look and just the framework mask worn. The face behind the mask so to speak. =)
