This is the second mask I made for the Michael deMeng on-line workshop, Mythic Masks and Junkyard Gods.
When I was auditioning stuff in my basement to make a new mask, I came across these two toy automobiles. The black one is a Hasbro Marvel Black Panther Vehicle while the wood one appears to be a hand made soap box derby car.
More parts were harvested to create the mask.
The basic construction can be fairly rough as there is going to be a lot more done to these parts to make it mask-like.
The derby car, without its wheels, becomes the nose.
The curtain tie back becomes a moustache.
Texture is added. Then it is time to paint.
Thus we have Lost Eyes Whose Sight Will Not Be Restored. The title comes from Sue Owen's poem A Basket of Buttons. It is 14"H X 13"W X 6"D. It consists of Hasbro Marvel Black Panther Vehicle, Wood Soap Box Derby Toy, Wood Toy Wheels, Curtain Tie Back Hook, Clock Pendulums, Plastic Printer Part, Doll Eyes, Plastic Wind Up Key, Sari Ribbon and Paint.
