Description This is the first of a series of water themed dragon masks I'm hoping to be able to create. This is the "River Dragon" also called the "Mystique" mask due to its many details and whimsical movements.

This mask was inspired by the colors of mountain rivers and streams: blue, green, brown, and occasional bronzes.

This dragon mask is hand carved, sculpted and painted from 6 oz vegetable tanned leather and is rather lightweight and comfortable despite its size. This mask features five authentic male peacock feathers as well as a number of dyed rooster feathers. The cabochon in the center is genuine labradorite and is quite large and stunning. The colors of the labradorite remind me of the humble colors of mountain springs and streams and goes so well with the peacock feathers. All paint on this mask is metallic acrylic so it is quite shimmery and glamorous.

Lots of love and loads of time went into this piece. This specific dragon will NOT BE REPLICATED AND IS ONE OF A KIND! Get this work od durable, wearable art while you can! I will only reuse the pattern for the next dragon of the serious which will probably be the sea or snow dragon.

SOLD! Thanks so much! Interested in a dragon mask of your own? Note me!

I do custom orders of leather masks. Please message or email me at hoohoocreations@gmail.com if you are interested.

Ummm...I don't track time very well on these things but this one took.....mmmm...roughly 14 hours from start to finish???

I'm not sure ^^'. I need to get better about tracking time. I just get carried away with the creative process and before I know it...it's been hours....

lol^^ I know exactly what you mean. I get carried away all the time too XD But, my goodness, it only took 14 hours?!? Thats amazing!

Draikairion In reply to IZJ [2012-01-21 14:40:04 +0000 UTC]

Well 14 hours for a leather mask is actually quite long. I've polished a few off in about 2. But overall, compared to a few other types of masks, leather doesn't take as long.

This is product of less than a year's worth of working in the leather. You can do it!

Thank you so much! It's ironic that you commented on the feathers considering that your username is "Peacockmask"
