Masks have been
around since man first started wandering this big globe we live on.
I've heard that it actually started with Cavemen... ..using
simple made
masks for ceremonial uses as well as just plain entertainment. It moved
on to witch doctors who used them to chase away evil spirits...or
sometimes to summon them forth. Today they are still used for
OTHER things of course..But the one that interests ME the most is the
wearing of masks for FUN! ENTERTAINMENT is what a Mask should be all
about and I'm here to show you some that will make you laugh and some
that will give you the shivers..and some that will make you say. "I
want THAT one!" Ü
Here are a couple of cool Masks
from Mardi Gras:
Mardi Gras Mask
Mardi Gras in Iraq There are masks of many different styles
and cuts and
sizes. We have the Full Head and Face Masks....Then there are the
Half-Face Masks that leave the mouth portion uncovered (to
which one might install fangs if so desired. Then there are the Face
Bits & Pieces.... a nose, ears, "movable" Jaw (?..geez...), to
which the actual face parts left showing will be filled in with Face
Paint or make-up and/or fur.. even Blood maybe.
(YIKES!).(which you will likely find through my "Make-up" page.
Some people prefer to make their own Masks (and hands, feet, scars,
etc.). I have just the right place for you to get your Latex. I am told
that there is even a "Starter Kit" to be found for those of you who
would like to give this type of Costumery a shot.. Most of these are "Latex" masks.  Star Wars~Yoda Mask  Howl-O-Ween Mask  Rag Doll Mask  Preditor W/ Removable Faceplate  Pirates of the Caribbean~Davy Jones Mask  Deep Sea Creature Mask  World of Warcraft~Forsaken Mask  Friday the 13th~ Jason W/ Removable Hocky Mask  South Park~ Stan Mask  Dark Knight~ Joker Mask  Hellraiser~Economy Pinhead Mask  Halloween~ Michael Myers Original Mask  SAW~ Jigsaw's Puppet Mask  The Big Bad Wolf Mask  Geezer Mask  Slipknot~ Chris mask  Go-Rilla Mask Of course there are plenty more Masks where THOSE, above, came from (FrightCatalog, Inc.)..so when you get to the store just browse. Their selection is amazing. At CostumeCraze,
LLC... ( costumecraze.com )
Check out BuyCostumes.com for Masks also:you'll find Masks to die for (well.. we hope not) also. Here are just a few:  Hellbeast Mask  Jar Jar Binks Mask ~Star Wars~  Uruk-Hai Warrior Mask ~Lord of the Rings~  Scary Gollum Mask ~Lord of the Rings~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remember, If you don't find a mask that fits what you need amongst ALLLLLL that is available..... Maybe you just need a bit of Face Paint and some of your own molding Latex (for making scars, etc.) and you will be on your way. Check out my Make-up and Accessories pages for those products. How about Masks for Mardi Gras from FrankBees. Here you will find plenty of beautifully colored and feathered Mardi Gras/Masquerade style Masks, as well as Character and Halloween Masks. Cruise his Mask department....It's great. Here's a really cool,
but
simple,Teddy Bear Mask
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I know this is a bit(well...maybe a LOT) OFF TOPIC...BUT...While I am on the subject of "Masks", just let me ask "How many people out there like decorating their walls with things OTHER than paintings?" How about "Decorative Masks"? A few years ago I went to a store that supplied unfinished ceramics and I bought a few masks. I painted them ..just for fun..and they came out so nice that they've been hanging on my living room walls ever since then. Here is a picture of the finished Masks.
If
anyone has any cool masks that they made themselves...I would LOVE to
add a photo of it here and/or to my Homade Costumes section.
Just
send Photos to~~~> Coletta@Costume-Works.com
Thanks in advance! Ü
