The Peacock Masks

this is  my 2010 peacock mask, i intend to create a new one every year. this one happened to be a special piece though. i donated it to the Have a Heart halloween masquarade to be auctioned off in order to raise moolah for a fabulous cause.


without a doubt is one of my favorites, hated to give it up but it was nice knowing that it went to a worthy cause. 


and up there with "the shoe" this piece also has its share of swarovski crystals sprinkles over ;)
