Luchador Mask

I

I've been working on this for a while, my luchador mask.  I used a pattern from online, but had to make some adjustments to get the fit more or less correct. The materials are silver lamé, screen mesh for the eyes, bias tape, and black pleather for the mustache. My luchador name is:  El Bigote Gigante ( the  Giant Mustache). 

Googly eye pleather bracelet

I've been trying to think of things to put googly eyes on, and I was inspired by seeing a punk rock studded bracelet to make this lil number with some leftover pleather and Velcro. I still need to work on my hot glue technique, and I'm not sure how well the eyes will stay on. I've got some other idea though.

FIRST!

A friend of mine told me that I'm the only adult male she knows who admits he's on Pinterest.  I also note that when I buy material at one of my many favorite haunts to buy cloth, I'm the only man in the line.  So I'm starting this blog in the hope that it will serve as a venue to share my creations and ideas.

I like to cook, sew, and otherwise make things that are useful and hopefully beautiful.
