Description Here's a WIP of my next Greek gods/goddesses mask series. This is going to be Artemis, Greek goddess of the moon and of the hunt.

When I was designing this, I was kind of worried that the antlers would not be strong enough to stay up on their own. I was holding my breath the whole time I was wet forming it but after I finished shaping it, they stayed up! **breaths a sigh of relief**

I'm going to start on the painting tomorrow and will hopefully have it done within a couple of nights!

**edit** Here's the [link] to the completed mask!

Hi There - is this a one off? Or could you reproduce several of these if I was interested in buying them? Also what is the symbol in the middle? Would you ever consider changing his symbol to something different if you were commissioned to do this? Thanks very much! Bakul

yay the antlers worked!! How did that new swivel knife turn out? I can't wait to see this all painted up, it's going to look awesome!

Yeah! I'm so relieved they didn't flop over hehe.
The knife works really well. It makes really fine and clean, deep cuts which lets me make a good bevel impression without having to apply too much pressure. So in the end, it looks like a heavy impact bevel but with out so much "bumpiness" in the surrounding non-bevel area... (I think I conveyed that correctly lol).
