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. =)
ReplyDeleteCan you please tell me how to make the blue mask! Is it for sale? I am very impressed! chris@chris-love.com
ReplyDeleteI love this so much.
ReplyDeleteim from mexico, my girl friend and i did some tiki mask based on the ones you made, but in a more basic way, we got a big fridge bix from costco and we started doing it, it took 15 dlls of investment but a whole day of hard work, i want to show you a picture but i dont know how to upload it
