This is really amazing! How big is it and what is it made of. Beautiful!

:-) Helen Rich replies: "Thank you - I'm glad you like it. I don't have the exact dimensions - but it is mask-sized - i.e made to fit snug to a person's face. It is made from papier mache, with wire support and dried leaves for texture.</a></i>"

Marvelous! I think this is my favourite of your masques. The leaves are the perfect representation--both are good symbols for earth and water. The veinwork is wonderful, and I still would like to know what these are made of. Please?

:-) Helen Rich replies: "Hi Patricia - Thanks for the lovely comments and I'm glad you like my masks. All of them are made from papier mache. Mara also has florists wire for stability and dried leaves for texture. They are painted with acrylics.</a></i>"

Oh its beautiful! I love the shimmery-ness and the colurs. Were the shapes made from real leaves?

Still my favourite of the five - and as I sit here typing this, sat on the mantelpiece behind me brooding. Helen, you're a star 1

:-) Helen Rich replies: "Ian!! Great to see you here.. and thanks for the kind words..2
Of all the masks, this was my favourite too. I'm glad it went to a good home.."
