I think they are supposed to arrive in a few days.
|
Mine did. They're pretty fast.
|
My masks arrived today. They're dope.
|
Today is the cut off date, so it looks like we have 6 masks to make if no one else signs up before midnight...

I hope your creativity is running wild to masquerade this month! |
I was out of town for a few days and when I came back my masks were here! I even think I have an idea! Time to get cracking.
|
Got ideas???
|
Please no feathers for me (and no unsealed glitter- but that last part is old news).

How's everyone's masks going?
I scrapped the oriental trading masks. They just ultimately felt too kiddie cardboard to me. I went to a Party City and got some real masks that are comfy on the face (like 99 cent each) and then have been working on decorating them. I like the way they are coming out. They involve a lot of glued on parts and I've been using good old Elmers so I hope they stay strong, but I've been using a lot of glue, so I think they might. I'm really pleased with how they are coming out. My theme is "rainbow gay color bright" and I feel like they even look kind of professional. I'm excited. Making masks is soooo much fun! This is a great project! |
BTW, I'd love feedback to hear if my decorations stay on. It's helpful to know what works and what doesn't, so don't be shy :). You can even tell me right on the thread. "Eek! Your mask self-destructed!" It's good to know these things!
|
I'm totally staying with the Oriental Trading masks. I like that they're flat, I think they're easier to work with. I've completed two masks so far and am liking how they're coming along. I feel I have some momentum going. I might even work on them tonight if I can't sleep!

Hurray, hurrah weather improving so art supplies are finally trickling in. Now I can relax, get that Valentine’s Day gift promised to someone special in the mail and then begin working on craft stuff. Though I was beginning to sweat it with the way the weather has been, now with things trickling in and enough craft supplies on hand to get started I’m no longer worried about finishing everything up on time. What a relief, now on to the fun part! :)
|
I'm almost done with my masks! At first I thought I'd hate them but they evolved and I like them now. I have a few finishing touches then done. And yes, they have glitter. Perfectly sealed. ;)

It’s been craft city around here today-with only six masks to make I wondered if ordering the group pack was going to be overkill. Good thing I did. I had no idea it was going to be this difficult. First pass around well I don’t think I’ve made anything that ugly out of paper since elementary school. However sometimes I like a good challenge so I practiced and practiced. Now I’ve got two completes/ready to send and the remaining four half done so maybe I’ll be able to wrap this up tomorrow or the next. I’m wondering how everyone else is doing and if anyone has shipped out already?
|
Ok, I've started on the masks. I've had ideas and had to streamline them. I tend to want to do everything. I also make mine in an assembly line mode..lol.
So in my mind, I start with this step and then move on. Let's say they are cut out and there will be lots of glueing tomorrow. Iron on glue, spray glue and white glue. Tacky fingers! Ticky, tacky little gooey mess! (Insert, song...Little Boxes..) P.s. my masks are flat too! |
Does anyone need my address??

I am flying back to Fla this evening....:(. Thank you Besame' for this great project idea!!! |
Besame, please pm me your address when you get a chance. My masks are ready to go out. Sorry if I'm being a pest!

February is International Correspondence writing Month. Any Pen Pal people who would like a letter/card PM me your address. Pen Pal thread peeps only please.

Masks are finished. Now I'm just waiting for some extras to arrive so I can mail out. The blanks were smaller than I expected.Too small to fit not all, but most adults I'd imagine. Rather than try and make them wearable instead just focused on making them decorative. The backs are unfinished. Though the basic shape is the same I did make them in different colors just for fun. Below are descriptions of the six available. Add your screen name after the color choice you prefer and it's yours. Here are the choices -
1. Blue and Light Blue (low glitter) - 2. Rose and pink (low glitter) - 3. Light Blue and purple (med glitter) - 4. Purple and Light Purple (med glitter) - 5. Green and Gold (heavy glitter) - 6. Hot pink and Purple (heavy glitter) - P.S. These are not exact descriptions only generalizations. My sons argue with me all the time about whether something is as I see it purple, or as they see it blue. |

I'm having a minor rhinestones issue. They are all affixed now but two. The masks should be ready to go tomorrow. I bought the postage at the po today so I should be good to go!
How's everyone else doing? |
[QUOTE=candy_coated_bitch;How's everyone else doing?[/QUOTE]
Mine are done and ready to ship. Didn't want to wait and risk maybe not meeting the deadline so I went ahead and chose for those who hadn't stated a preference and will be mailing them out today. |
Mine went out today. The money will be coming in a separate card I will mail tomorrow.
|
I'm kind of worried about my masks. I think I put them in the wrong mailbox. It was priority mail, and I put it in a box that said priority mail EXPRESS. I think that was the wrong thing and now I'm all paranoid about them getting to you ok.

Mine went out yesterday with tracking on not only the outer box but also each of the smaller boxes inside - one for each participant with no need to repackage, fuss.
|
Pardon my ignorance, but it sounds like y'all are creating beautiful things. I would love to join this group, but in perusing back posts I haven't seen anything about how to join, or parameters. Please help?

You will just need to watch the thread & when the next project is started & signups are posted, you may join in. Be on lookout as we will be sending our current projects to the wrangler for this one & they will need to be to her by the next few days or so. Once all are in & have been dispersed, someone will happen by with a new project idea. Again, welcome & look forward to seeing your creativity in our swell little group! |
Thank you Clay. I am looking forward to it.

I mailed my package today. If any of you care to text me a selfie of you or a friend wearing my mask when you receive it, I would love it, and if you don't have my cell phone number, just let me know, and we can exchange it in reputation comments. My mask is rainbow / pride themed. I think it would be so fun to see the mask actually on people!

I mailed Clay's and mine together today. They will arrive in a small priority box within 3 days (probably Wednesday). I have a tracking number so I'll watch the progress. Thank you Besame for wrangling this one.
