Leaf Mask is made of hand molded and formed leather and has been colored with both leather dyes and acrylic paints. It has a protective topcoat and a pair of coordinating ribbon ties. Mask is constructed of multiple pieces of hand shaped and molded leather, layered upon each other and secured with glue.
Mask is made of gorgeous high quality leather. I work in light leather that accepts and holds detailed molding and forming, and is also easier to wear than heavier leather masks. This mask is heavier than my average mask though, as it is made of multiple layers and many pieces.

unisex - for men or women

This is great. When you say hand molded, how exactly does that process take place?

Hi ya,
I wet a piece of vegetable tanned leather (in this case, multiple pieces)and then I mold it into the shape I want using my hands, kind of bend it and stretch it and press it until I get the shape I want.
Cheers :)

Simply amazing what you do. I still say your greenman masks are the finest I have ever seen (and I have seen many), and you should find a way to mass produce them.

Well, again the work you do is amazing. Your craftsmanship coupled with your attention to detail truly makes your work stand out. I especially like the tips of the leaves that crinkle up, which gives them a truly realistic appearance.

Always,
Vincent
