Description I've been busy filling orders, but I found time to create a new design; Black Unicorn Mask.

Made from one piece of hand carved, hand shaped leather and painted with Liquitex acrylics. I decided to add some gold drybrushed details to the face (to accent the carving just a bit) and gave it a deep blue metallic mane and a bright gold horn.

This is a signed, dated, numbered original; Black Unicorn #2.

Available (until she is gone! But you can always request another) in my Etsy shop here: [link]

I like this mask .It reminds me of My Little Pony Princess Luna when she became "Nightmare Moon "  ^_^

Definitely can see the kinship with a kelpie, but you've also captured the perfect LOOK that portrays unicorns the way I think they really would be.. Delicate but something that could be a fearsome opponent too

Nice change! I do like the gold touches on the head. Also very happy to see you don't have to fear the unicorn boy anymore!

Interesting design. I like the blue and the gold together - they work well together, and really well against the black.

This looks like a serious theatre-mask, actually - like something you'd wear in a Greek drama, or something. Definitely prefer it to your unicorn half-masks (which aren't bad by any stretch of imagination - it's just that they're a bit too... frilly for me. I'm not a frilly kind of girl. ).

Thank you! I totally agree. The short masks are great for parties, but this one is more of a sculptural thing.

Maybe it's just the eye shape, but he looks kind of evil. Evil unicorn! He's got a nice mane, though.

If it didn't have a horn, I'd be scared that a Kelpie was out to kill me.

Beautiful mask, I definitely like this one much better than the Unicorn half-mask.

merimask In reply to chain-wings [2011-05-25 20:40:50 +0000 UTC]

Yes, true...it is Kelpie-ish with the swirling blue mane. Hmm...that's not a bad idea really! A blue/black Kelpie with a seaweed mane...!

I definitely love the look of this one more then the froo-froo-y one with the feather mane ( not to say its not good ). Ive always adored the spirals in the leather and the rich deep colors you use. Great job!

Thank you! Yeah...this is really more like "my style". The short half mask unicorns are fun party masks, and affordable, but this one is more like art.
