Mardi Gras Mask-1
January 5, 2008 by Noreen Crone-Findlay
Filed under crochet, spool knitting and spoolknitting, tatting
Sandy, over at All holiday cafe, mentioned that Mardi Gras is coming.
I have never been to Mardi Gras, and can’t fathom ever going, but I thought….. ‘hmmm…. it would be fun to make a Mardi Gras mask that incorporated spool knitting, crochet and tatting.’
So, I got out my graph paper, and a pair of my glasses,
and started sketching.
When I was pleased with the template shape
I cut it out
and tried it on:
and thought: Wow…. I could do this as a butterfly!
So….
I started with the template and played with it till I had drawn a butterfly, traced the eyeholes, and cut it out.
I like it!
Hmmmmm………. what to use for the foundation of the mask?
