Another etsy favorite find!
Evoke the spirit of the woods with this beautiful mask. Hand sculpted leather mask dyed and sealed... CrimsonSpark's leather mask.
I have never been crazy about masks... in fact I've been known to be scared of some but this mask makes me itchy for a costume party, not just because it's actually leather that looks like wood but I guess it's because there is a certain earthiness about it, maybe it's the brown and black colour or the feathers and the beads (are those guinea foul feathers?) I cant really put a finger but it's one of my favorite in the Crimson Sparks leather mask collection. Go check out his etsy shop and you just might find your persona!
I will have all the items I listed below...and more. These are my current favorites on etsy. For all yee etsy regulars you will know that it's hard to keep a favorite on the top list for a long time because I believe that for every time you spend on etsy you will find at least one item to add to the top of your list. So, for that I'm sharing my CURRENT etsy favorites...before I make other findings of etsy favorites check out the items below and the various shops where these items and many more others are listed and I'm sure you will have your own list of favorites too.
I read about this blog on Designer's Block and I felt compelled to mention it here, please check out the blog and read about the stories she writes. Read about the stories from the widows, the children, the people who survived the torture, the rape, the cruelty, the death...the genocide.After going through the post I find myself asking questions about the genocide, what happened? what caused it? how could I not be well informed? As Di Overton on Designer's Block said "...please read the posts and promise yourself never to close your eyes or ears to this sort of thing ever again"
