Item details

Made from hand cut Japanese paper, stuck together with paper tape, hand painted and the surface sealed with wax and acrylic sealer where necessary.
This Japanese paper is made from bamboo, sugar cane and water reed - fast growing sustainable plants - instead of tree pulp, quite flexible and sturdy.
The paints used are chalk & water-based and do not contain any animal products, however the wax sealer contains beeswax.
Should you wish to wear the mask, please place it on your forehead rather than in front of your face as its eyes are covered with a thinner paper and also the eyes' position may not meet yours.
Dimensions: 26cm length, 18cm width, 3cm thickness

Paper mask making has been a slow development since I decided to make alternative use of over-stocked Japanese paper plates & cups in Feb. 2015.
I was always fond of using paper as a material to create things or simply for drawing & painting.
I recently made a bust figure from old cardboard boxes and newspapers for the purpose of displaying the masks.
Every item I make is a unique and original work, though many animal features are inspired by the images on screens and papers rather than visiting zoos for wild animals.
You are welcome to make enquiries for custom order masks as well.
