Brighid's House O' Masks

I sold a piece at Rave's Oh My Goth up in Denver last month! The piece I sold was "Obsidian Goddess." Of course I would sell such a piece at a goth shop. Heh. I had a lot fun with that piece, albeit the few frustrations. It was worth it in the end and I hope the new owner is happy with it.

I'm also looking to sell my masks through a local occult shop, but seeing as the word 'occult' is Latin for 'hidden knowledge,' I'm not going to reveal anything yet! We'll see how things progress. I would like to get that up-and-running in the next month.

Also, I'm working on an idea for a new project, completely different from the masks. It would be a lot more profitable and I would definately like to market the pieces to the local crafter's guild. Just need to get my desktop back to work and I'll need to buy a printer. Yay! Hints at nothing!

I have made several masks over the past week and have decided to start a series of masks with decopague. At this point, I would like to make the set a surprise, though. I'll have them at the next show, along with my masks that were at the gallery.

I am also working on a mask for myself for the show. It doesn't exactly match with the theme, but who cares? Heh. It will be really cool. I'll probably work on just one more piece for sale, finish up the others, and mostly focus on the mask for myself. It's just too cool to NOT make!

See ya at the show!

I don't know if I need to be painted gold, but it sounds fun eh?

Heh. Well, I am working on a bunch of inexpensive masks to show this Friday as next month is Halloween. I have one horror mask (clay) and a I'm working on a high number of plastic and fabric/plastic masks. If you don't have body paint, Doug and Leaf can paint you up for the festivities! Hope to see you there!

AND, I got up pictures from First Friday, so check em out on the Art Show Pictures page! Plus, the horror mask I finished will be posted later today on Masks For Sale.

Also, I've re-activated the Breast Cancer Awareness page since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Be sure to check out the groups that do not test on animals!

I finally landed a spot in a gallery in downtown Colorado Springs! I'm pretty excited about it and the masks will be hung on the walls by next week.

SO, there will be a bit of a show on First Friday, which is September 5th. Mark your calendars; this gallery is not to be missed! The place is Edifice Gallery on Tejon and Bijou, next to Left Side Spin (and also next to the old location of The Cat Bird Seat, reputed to be haunted). Edifice has a lot of modern art, pop art paintings, sculptures (even blank ones you can paint yourself), bumperstickers, hand-made jewelry, shirts, hoodies and more. And my masks.

If you can't make the show, be sure to stop in before October to see my masks on display. And frankly, stop in regardless; there's a lot of amazing stuff in store!

Gallery location:

Hope to see some of you there!

The show went really well and I had a lot of fun. I did end up selling 'Aunt Bonita,' which was really cool. I had expected that one to go a long time ago, but I guess I just needed to find the right person to buy it! My dad and I made a new display which is much, much more sturdy, but it needs a little more tweaking. I'll edit this entry in the next couple of days with some more details on the show and I will post pics in the Art Show album. But for now, I'm still recovering. Just another night of rest and I should be good to go. Thanks to everyone that went to the show!

(My new display!)

It's just around the corner now! If you are a local, be sure to come up for the fun. It's only $10 bucks to get in!

I should have another mask done by then as well. This one is a clay piece, something I haven't done since January, and I am also going to airbrush the highlights. Should turn out pretty cool. Look close for my name on there!!!

See ya then!
