Plague doctor mask assembled! Itās creepy and steampunk! It covers your whole head, with laces up the back. Itās even got a flap of soft leather beneath the laces to protect your hair.
It took many hours of sewing, but Iām quite happy with it. For being my first time making something of quite this magnitude, it was highly successful. Of course, there are a few nearly-invisible tweaks Iād like to make for a second version, but thatās how it goes! I consider that a sign of doing things right! (Many of the adjustments revolve around making it fit better with glasses. It does just barely accommodate mine, but could be better.) I donāt see many people doing full-head hood types of masks, and when they do itās almost always done with a soft, flexible leather. Stiff vegetable-tanned leather makes it much more challenging.
I decided not to stain it before assembling it. I really like the natural tan color of the leather for this mask. It fits. Now I need to get some photos of it being worn with a costume. Then itāll go up for sale.
I made a couple more kinky pet rocks! The Y harness one Iād had sitting around for a while, and now itās joined by one in a bulldog harness and one thatās fully-suited!
I dunno man. I just think these are a lot of fun to make. I should get some photos of them being held so the size is more obvious, then Iāll post them up for sale. Iāll think of more innuendo to slather the description with then.
Iāve still got a few more nice-looking rocks, maybe suggest some more ideas for costumes for pet rocks?
