The wanderings of a pencil :)

I've not really shared any of my sketch books before. Drawing is not my strongest point ...but I'm never without  a pad of plain paper, kept close by to quickly scribble down ideas whenever they come to me. I very rarely work from complete and detailed sketches. I prefer these fragments that capture a feeling, that I can then expand and elaborate on as I create the mask. I enjoy this freedom as it is so organic and fluid.

These are the leafy moth masks that I'm working on at the moment :)

Wintery baroque bats and wolves are demanding my attention as well!


More wanderings waiting to tell me their stories....

  3. Hi Tanith,
    I would love one of your fairy masks.
    Either a fox mask or a moth!
    You will have to open an online shop.
    Beautiful work.x
