Raccoon Creature Full-head Paper Mache Mask

Here is one of the many masks that I am currently working on:



It started out as a raccoon but soon turned into more of a creature of sorts. I liked the direction it was headed, so I decided not to mind that it no longer looked much like a raccoon. That and then the fact that when I was frustrated with this mask and wanted to destroy it, Danijela said that I mustn't.

Old video of my hands as puppets

The following video is not of the best quality but I just ran across it and uploaded it for your viewing pleasure. I recorded it in one take for a project in a playwriting class of mine a few years back. No, it's not masks, but if it had not been for my interest in puppetry I may never have heard masks calling my name...

Mask workshops and Squirrel Girl

More news coming soon. I am keeping busy with my mask making while at the same time I have some other mask related plans in the works. Look for workshops and other events in the future. Someday I will get better at this blogging thing and actually update more frequently.

Until next time, here is a photo with the squirrel mask for your enjoyment...
