In progress: new mask

Halloween is just a few months away, so I've been working on masks lately with more than the usual verve. Here's an in-progress shot of the lastest. It's painted to look like copper that's been treated with a blue glaze. (Actually it's a light weight plastic. Actual metal is somewhat unwieldy to use for a mask that will later have feathers attached to it.)

It's inspired largely by a book by Robin Hobb.
