'Lost at Sea' Mask

This mask was actually inspired by the Decemberists song 'For My Own True Love (Lost At Sea)' from their album 'Picaresque.'  Everything was done by hand; right down to the netting/veil I knitted.  There's even a letter  (which I have transcribed) to a lost love in a bottle.  I'm still looking for a ship's stern to construct myself, but until now the plastic one will have to do. Copyright Ashland Pym 2007 Media:  Mask: Felt, Acrylic Paint.  Details:  Cotton yarn, charms, dried seahorses, plastic ship, jade turtle, Angelina fiber (for the foam), shells, glass bottle, sketch paper, calligraphy ink.       Letter I have also compiled a collection of detail shots:  Face      Shipwreck      Seahorses  Sea Turtle      Color Layers

'Truth and Fantasy and Have and Had Once'
	The story of desire and possession. More important, it's the story of our inability to appreciate what we have. Copyright Ashland Pym 2006 Media:  Graphite and Colored Pencil

'Englehorn' (Angel's Trumpet)

An homage to lost seamen and my favorite Captain. This started as a white rayon shift.  I dyed it with the German Blauviolet (which is no longer in production) and put it on my light table with a pen and ink drawing by Luis Royo I have always admired.  Some designs are traditional celtic, some are my own done freehand. Copyright Ashland Pym 2007 Media Used:  Procion MX dye and Seta Color Fabirc Paint on Rayon.       Front Detail      Moon      Back Detail  Model      Luis Royo

'Maiden at Twilight' Mask
	Copyright Ashland Pym 2007. Materials:  Felt, Acrylic Paint.

(That's 'a little something extra' to my friends who are unfamiliar with the vernacular of the Deep South.)  These are just some fun little things I threw together at one point or another.  I enjoyed working on them and so I would love to share them.
