Description This is the first of the new elemental designs that I came up with for my San Fransisco trip. It is also my first multi layer leather mask. I have to say that I love the cool effects you can get with multiple layers.

This is for sale in my Etsy shop here: [link]

Very beautiful and very inspiring. If only clay would behave like leather....heavy sigh.

I make clay molds and cast them in plaster for some of my masks. I feel your pain

Wow, I wish I had known. It would have been fun to try and hook up. However, I was car less so didn't have much control over where I went.

pilgrimagedesign In reply to designsbymishi [2010-07-11 17:57:26 +0000 UTC]

Well, I use a glue called the Ultimate Crafter's Glue and usually the leather will fail before the glue does. Maybe long term (20 years or so) it will come apart but I haven't had any problems so far.

I'd love a better solution, but I haven't found one yet. I've tried Barges and Ecoflow Leather Cement and I don't get as good a hold with either.
