| Harlequin Masks |
|
| For a stunning party mask, buy a ready-moulded
mask from stationer's or toy shop. The half-mask shown here is coloured
with oil stencil pencils. Start with the pink; apply a little to a piece
of waxed paper, then pick it up on the stencil brush. Using a circular motion,
cover about half the mask. Repeat with the blue, filling in the gaps and
giving the eyes a semblance of eyeliner. |
|
| Next take a short length of lace and glue
it to the back of the top half of the mask, down to where the elastic is
attached. Glue some strands of curling gift wrap ribbon on either side.
(Curl the ribbon by running the blunt edge of a pair of scissors along it.)
Lastly, glue some large sequins over the tops of the ribbons to hide the
ends, and glue another one in the centre of the forehead. |
|
| For the black mask, first sew some silver
tinsel wire around the eyes. Sew on some pearl beads either side, then sew
two or three grey or white feathers under the edges for an owlish look |
