CCB October Challenge – Masquerade Masks – Enter to Win

The Crew is exploring a fun side of Halloween this year with masquerade masks that come in all shapes and sizes.  Maybe they are for a Halloween Ball, maybe for a costume party or for your Halloween decor.  No matter what they are for, they are just so fun to make.  You can make them to wear or just for looks, which gives you creative leverage to design them anyway you wish.  Halloween is about orange and black, but masks can be made in any color and can coordinate with a costume or they are the focal point of the outfit.  We would love to see your masks, so this month our challenge is all about masks and we cannot wait to see what you create.  If you do not celebrate Halloween, this challenge is all the more exciting, from the masquerade balls held all over the world, to steampunk attire or even a themed costume party.

Lets play dress up! Every now and then it is fun to have a bit of decadency or luxury. Using a mask to conceal your personality and making it intriguing and mysterious has been a tradition since the 12th Century. Not only where they used as a disguise, they where used to practice the freedom of speech.  You might not make yours to conceal, but every time you take a look at your mask it is a great reminder that you can slip it on and be free.  

Bring out the golds and glitters. Bring out the flair and romance. Or bring out the spooky person inside you. This month we are creating masquerade masks!  Here is a link with some shapes and sizes of traditional masks that might inspire your design – Masquerade Masks.  Your mask can be any shape, size and design and does not have to be able to be worn, but it must have holes for the eyes and conceal the face a little or a lot to be considered for this challenge.  Here are all the details.

Challenge Guidelines:

Type of project: Create, decorate, sew or paint  a Masquerade/Halloween mask – release your imagination and be creative! You can design and make the mask from scratch or you can decorate a pre-bought mask.

  A Patina Mask is truly stunning with so much detail.  A great way to use different design and textures and tie them all together by finishing the entire mask in one finish or color.

 Shades of pink come together to create this fabulous ombre mask that is loaded with all that glitters and the layers of lace and ribbon to create the ties is so clever.  So gather feathers, stones, jewels, gems and more and glitz up your mask.

Show off your mixed media skills on your mask with textured mediums, layers of color, faux finishes and terrific details.  Decoupage or cover your mask with unique textures and then add all the color you want.
