This mask features a sea turtle surrounded by blue waves. The main colors are blue, green, with hints of gold and just a smidge of purple- somewhat reminiscent of a peacock. Both the turtle's shell and the ocean water have an iridescent quality to them. Clusters of gems and pearls bubble up through the curling waves. This piece was entirely hand sculpted and has an artist's mark on the back. It is roughly 5.5" wide by 3" tall.
Well I love making excuses! Mardi Gras is coming up. Actually, that's how this whole thing started. I needed a Mardi Gras costume for a party and made myself one. 'Course then the party fell through...but I just went on making masks. XD
