a green velvet mask with a long nose, handmade with repurposed velvet, flowers, and leaves
A one of a kind green crushed velvet upcycled mask for a forest nymph, inspired by the "Secret Garden" theme for the Asheville Mardi Gras Parade 2024. Handmade from repurposed materials like kitchen trash, clothing, yarn, and wreaths, this lusciously whimsical mask features tiny faux blue flowers hidden among a variety of shiny and furry green leaves. A soft and metallic olive netting accentuates the eyes, inside and out. The eye openings are large so you won't miss a thing. The nose is long, typical of Venetian Carnival masks, allowing you to easily slide the mask onto your forehead if you want to show your face. A custom-sized elastic headband provides a hands-free. secure, and comfortable fit.

    Care:

    • Handle with care. Hold by elastic.
    • Clean with a feather duster. No chemicals, abrasive materials, or sharply pointed metals. 
    • Remove in wet weather. Cover it if caught in the rain or when near misters. If it does get wet, gently shake off water droplets, and set it to dry in the sunshine or in front of a fan on a low setting.
    • Stuff fabric or paper behind the mask and store in a dry place.

    Styling:

    • place over hair or wig and with the end of a comb pull wisps of hair out from under the elastic to cover elastic
