We have an Italian Carnival themed event coming up in October, and I’ve been refitting a couple of old Florentine dresses to wear to it. I realized the other day that I needed some jewelry and a mask for the event, too, so I dug out these old pieces:
I made each of those necklaces about ten years ago, to go with Italian ren and gothic ensembles. I cleaned them up a bit, but since they’re made with brass and pewter (the pearls and garnets are real), I couldn’t get them really shiny and silver again. Oh, well. They’re still pretty.
I had a mask already made, but it was broken, having been crushed in a fabric box in storage. I’ve actually made three masks, but something always happens to prevent me from wearing them, including a freaking TORNADO.
Not to worry. I glued the mask back together and put the feathers back on it, and voila:
There! Now I just have to get the actual dresses together. More on that later.
