Celebration Dia De Los Muertos Mask

Hey, hey, hey everyone!  Happy Friday!!!  I have a new Dia De Los Muertos mask to share just in time for the release of The Book of Life.  My son and I are so excited to see this movie.  I love seeing our beautiful culture making into the mainstream.  So go see it peeps!!

This guy has flaming suns for eyes, lol.  I wanted to give it a different shape since I always go with the scallops.  I have admit, once I did it I was like"hmm....I'm not sure about this".   But I believe in only moving forward on my projects so I kept truckin' and trusted that it would all work out.

Next came this shape and I was still like "I don't know".  So I decided to add bright colors and on went the magenta.

Once I began layering the bright colors, it really started to come together.

I made sure to tie in all of the colors for a cohesive look.

This mask is just so happy to me.  He is ready to celebrate!  If you're interested in purchasing this mask, click HERE.

Okay folks, I've gotta run so I'll let you go.  Thank you so much for spending a piece of your day with me.  Have a wonderful weekend!!

Courage & Strength: Dia De Los Muertos Mask

Hey, hey, hey!  I hope you guys are having a fantastic weekend.  I thought I'd share another mask with you guys tonight.

This one gets it's name from the sentiments on it.

I think this one might be my favorite so far.  I'm loving the sentiments and bold color combo.

I took a couple of short cuts on this one.  I used rubons for both of the sentiments but everything else is hand drawn and painted.

If you're interested in this mask, it can be purchased HERE.

All of the masks are listed in my Etsy shop, LittleHoneyBeeStudio.

Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Sugar Skull Mask: Orange & Green

Hey everyone, I'm back to share another Dia De Los Muertos mask with you!  This is the second one I've completed this season.

I usually start out with the eyes.  The whole design depends on the color I use on them.  Here the main color is green with accents of orange and teal.  I also mixed in a tad bit of red.

I really like the mandal/zentagle/doodled flowers so that's what I went for on this mask.  These types of flowers are so relaxing to create.  It's just a matter of adding layer upon layers of lines.  You should give it a try the next time you're sitting around waiting for your kiddos or at an appointment.

And of course I HAVE to add my flourishes, lol.  I love the fluid motion of creating them :D.

This mask can be worn or hung as decor.  If you're interested in purchasing this mask, you can find it in my Etsy shop here: LittleHoneyBeeStudio.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Have a BEAUTIFUL day, hugs!!!!

Glittered Mask

Hi everyone!  Are you having a great week?  Time really seems to be flying these days but I have made time to do a little creating.  I've also been trying to sketch in my art journal daily.  I'm trying to practice drawing my women for future canvas designs.  Besides that, I squeezed in a couple of Dyan Reavely classes.  I'll try and share what I did her classes soon so keep an eye out for that in the near future.  Today I have a new Day of the Dead mask to share:

I'm trying to get ready for another show this weekend so I'm trying to crank out as many masks as I can.  So far this is the 5th mask I've made this year and they're selling very quickly.  I completed this one yesterday so I now have two in my inventory for Saturday.  That's definitely not enough so I'll be busy trying to create more today and tomorrow.

All of my masks are different but they all have some of my signature designs.  

I almost always start with the eyes.

Then I move onto the forehead.  For this mask, I did all of the designs freehand.  I sketch them on and them paint them.

I applied a layer of glitter to the entire mask.  So this is the first mask that sparkles ;D

Thanks so much for stopping by today and sharing a little piece of your day with me.  Have a beautiful day :D

Purple Rose, Sacred Heart Calavera

Happy October everyone!!!  Have you all pulled out all of your fall and Halloween decor?  I haven't, lol, this is my favorite time of year and I love decorating for it but I just don't know if I'll have time to do it this year.  My little guy started middle school this year so we're staying very busy between homework and extra curricular activities.  I've also signed up for two shows back to back to I'm working really hard to make sure I have enough inventory.

This is my latest mini skull.  I'm not a huge fan of purple but I know a lot of people are so I thought it would make a good color choice.

I used a large rose stamp and a retired PWP heart stamp.  Speaking of Paper Wings, they just released their Oct. Nesting Components kit today and OMGosh you guys, it's AWESOME!!  There are actually two sets available this month, the normal set which is Halloween themed and a mini set.  Okay so hold on to your seats....the mini set's theme is DIA DE LOS MUERTOS!!!  You have to get these sets before they sell out, so hurry!!!  Here is the link to each set:

Day of the Dead Kit

Go check them out, you will not be disappointed!!

I'll be adding this skull to my Etsy shop tomorrow.  I'll keep it there til the show this weekend. So if you're interested in this one, get it before Friday or you might miss it.  If it doesn't sell over the weekend, then I might add back in or take it to Homestead.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a wonderful day!!!

HUGS TO YOU ALL :D
