[MR] Mask Workshop on Saturday, November 14, 2009

[Lady Alexandra Scott]

Please cross post to groups.  We want Twelfth Night to be glorious!

Greetings one and all ~

If you are planning to attend Twelfth Night or just want to have 
some fun, come make a mask!  You can watch, participate or take 
pictures (can someone say, "blackmail?").  
http://twelfthnight.falconcree.org/index.php

Molded plaster masks (conformed to your face) are suitable for
decorating.  To view examples of past masks we've helped cast, look
for Carnevale di Inverno photos on the Sacred Stone Yahoo Groups 
photo page. We also posted the last workshop photos. These photos
are posted on my Facebook as well. 

HAVE NO IDEAS?!  Come anyway.  We will help you! But bring your 
Twelfth Night garb or ideas so we can brainstorm together.
