Description
This was a special order from my Etsy shop: [link] A blue lion with an "ice" theme.I painted it in varying shades of blue and drybrushed silver over the tips of the mane. Wasn't "frosty" enough so I drybrushed irridescent white over the face, which really did the trick.
Hand carved/hand shaped leather, painted with Liquitex Acrylics. You can request special masks like this one from my Etsy shop (see link above).

God I'd love to try and make one of these beauties... I am staring at this mask and it just clicked, is the entire thing made of one slice of leather with the maned edges partially cut out?

Yes, exactly.
Check out my front page...I have a list of links to TV appearances & tutorials there...might be helpful.

The iridescent white probably looks really good in person; does it give it that sort of shimmer as it turns in the light?

Yes...it's sort of pearly. It works well for the theme of the mask...hard to photograph but good in person.

it's great. And the idea of a blue lion, made like this is great too!

It's an unusual color choice for a lion, but it works so well!

True! I thought a blue lion was an odd choice, but if it goes with a costume color theme it'll probably be pretty cool as an ensemble.
