Venice Papier Mache Mask


My lovely friends, Jack and Pauline, were here yesterday and we had a great day. Jack very kindly brought me a papier mache mask so we could make them together. Hers are stunning! For mine I used metallic white paint and Mustard Seed Distress Ink. The stamps are by Oxford Impressions 'Venezia' and my favourite Crafty Individuals' scroll. I finished off with gem stone tears.

  5. That is so beautiful Lucy. Maybe at last I have been inspired to do something with the ones I brought back from Venice a few years ago, x

  14. i think you should have embossed the nostrils a bit more to give it a better shape and make it more eye-catching.
