Velvet Verbosity

Last October, before I moved the blog over here to its own domain, I discovered Wendy Drolma (formerly known as Wendy Klein) and her amazing hand crafted leather masks on Etsy.  Since that time, Wendy has moved to a new website too!  She asked me to be so kind as to change my links to her.  I thought I would go one better and re-introduce the blogosphere to her handicraft.There are a few things I like about Wendy’s mask work.  It goes without saying that she is superbly talented and that each mask is a work of art.  Aside from that, she doesn’t seem to be bound by narrow vision.   Her masks span from the elegant to the dark, from the sensuous to the disturbing.  She has also come up with a unique “over the ear” bead design that holds the mask to your face without having to be tied behind your head.

I don’t want to tell you everything here.  Visit her website, which is itself mysterious and alluring, and check out the various designs, along with an interesting interview with Wendy.
