All masks are all handmade from the finest feathers, silks, laces, beads and other materials.
Each is designed as it is created by the artist from original sculpture, formed and cut by hand. There are no plans or formulas, there are no employee crafters.
They are surprisingly lightweight and have been designed to fit comfortably for long periods of wear. Although designed to be worn, many collectors prize them purely as decorative artwork.
Choose from those available or order custom design and color combinations at no extra charge!
See galleries for past work and check back for new work. New faeries coming soon, a few past on page 3!

Parts of items made from feathers and other natural materials may vary slightly in appearance.

Basic Care & Feeding
Masks should not be stored at high temperatures and never left for any length of time in a hot car. Make sure that you crumple a mound of newspaper under the face when storing flat. It is perfectly safe to wear your mask outside in the sun, but masks containing dyed feathers, velvets and other non-colorfast materials should not be stored for long periods in sunlight, it will fade the dyes. Natural feathers can attract those same pesky moths that attack your wool clothing and flour. Store with mothballs or other mothproofing such as lavender oil. Masks that are displayed should be dusted weekly by blowing thoroughly with a blow-dryer. A damp cloth and even some mild soap can be used on most feathers except ostrich. Blow-dry and steam to “fluff” the feather after. Feathers that start to droop downward too much can be refreshed by hanging the mask upside down and steaming, leave hanging upside down for a day or so afterward. More complete instructions here.
