Wore this to the Arizona Renaissance Festival in Feb. '07... maybe you saw me there. Although back then I didn't have this awesome mane hair, I had furry yarn that made it look like a dreadlocked hyena Jesus. rofl.

It's got its flaws, both aesthetically and functionally, but I still really love it.
Random shots of me wearing it:

This mask was made of FastMache brand instant papier mache mix, over a base of cardboard and styrofoam. The paint is generic acrylic craft paint; the eyes are from Van Dyke's Taxidermy. As for the mane? It's real human hair! If you're curious as to how I did it, here's a few in-progress shots.

I've since made another mask and will post that one when I get some better photos of it.
