Description This is a commission for Hinata95071, a prom mask to go with her stunningly beautiful prom dress: [link]

This was a joy to work on because it just so happens to be in my favourite colour scheme.

This piece is created from a foam halfmask base, crepe taffeta with black lace trim, black lace accents, sterling silver seed beads, assorted glass and resin beads, paper flowers dry brushed with acrylic, hot glue, silver embroidery thread, and acrylic thread.

Thank you so much for the commission!

If you're interested in commissioning me, please send me a note.

I just really like this whole piece. xD The colour, the textures, the design. I hate wearing hats but I have no problem with masks lol

This a dramatic and sophisticated, just on the edge of dark piece.

Thank you! The commissioner has promised to send me a picture of it combined with her prom dress, so I'm looking forward to seeing it all together! When she showed me the dress, I was SO excited to do a design for it, because I loved everything about this project - mask + indigo, black and silver (my favourite combo ever!) + floor-length taffeta (also my favourite) + delicate embroidery + ruffles and folds? YES PLEASE!

I didn't know you could handle masks I don't know what occasion I could come up with that involves that, but I could totally make you a mask at some point~

Your wedding, you goof. xD I wore a bowler hat for that because it matched my suit. But I honestly don't mind masks haha

Maybe the house warming next year could be a masquerade-style Carnivale party? Just masks? o3o That'd be a reason. Or maybe a birthday? XD

I know nadda about fabrics but I like the texture of this one xD

yah, but I can't time travel back to make you a mask for something that already happened... I'm thinking in the future!

And sure~ a masquerade housewarming would be lovely! Kind of like the chocolate potlucks Geoectomy puts on!

This one was a crushed taffeta with lace and embroidery. :3 I really like the look of simple embroidery like this. I'm wanting to include some detail work like this in my new Tirivahni garb.

I really liked the style of this. I've always favoured dark colours and since I'm vampire-pale, dark colours generally suit me. xD

Maybe making a mask to match that clothing we'll eventually work out would be an idea? (to link two comment strings)

Yeah, we can definitely work out something along those lines. I mean, especially in this city - there are enough events that if you had a mask, there will be opportunities to wear it!

hahaha, just because I have enough clothes to do an entire fashion show just with my wardrobe doesn't mean that's -normal-! XD

This really caught my eye. It's got a lovely color combination and the textures also compliment each other very nicely. Is the wig part of the mask as well?

Thank you very much! I really love this colour combo as well - part of the reason I was so excited for the commission. The wig isn't part of the mask, no. I just needed something to put on my display head so that the mask would slide off of the smooth base.

It would be cool if the person who commissioned it has black hair, because that's a great look!

Excellent job, in mask and presentation!

I hope that the commissioner sends me pictures of it all put together! Perhaps she might have dark hair~

Thank you again!

I hope so! It was a lot of fun styling something to go with an already existing dress.
