My little light imp (a new murrini creation which reminded me a bit on "The Scream" by Edvard Munch) seems to be irritated in the middle of a magic...

Beautiful beads in opal yellow with generous swirls of antique ivory and pale blossoms...

Masks Inspired by Disney's Animal Kingdom Safari

Imagine this: Forty year old cynic waiting in line for the safari ride. Instead of complaining about the wait, she's hoping the line slows down. She wants more time to look at all the masks and carvings and extra little embellishments that Walt's folks have "thrown together" in a way that seems completely appropriate, like what you imagine a real safari outpost might look like. The kids, hubby, and friends were anxious to get on the safari jeep and see the animals. . . and I was secretly wishing for a torch and glass so I could make a mask! The Safari was spectacular, though! Here's what I've gotten to do so far.

Tribal Hunt Mask 396 x 500 pixels (34 KB) 0 Comments A little bit animal, a little bit human. Totally tribal. Inspired by the thoughts of a horned mask looking down at me as I waited in line.	Tribal Hunt Mask-- side 343 x 500 pixels (27 KB) 0 Comments I picked out some browns and reds, then I started randomly winding them onto the glob of glass after it got big enough to be a good base for the mask. I love how some of the Moretti dark reds and chestnuts have a streaky quality.	Tribal Hunt Mask-- turning from side to back 344 x 500 pixels (24 KB) 0 Comments Those colors disappear into each other when molten, though, so I really had no idea how it would look when I put it into the kiln.
Tribal Hunt Mask-- back 399 x 500 pixels (31 KB) 0 Comments When I finally got to sit down at the torch, I just let my mind wander back to the feelings and impressions of all the carved wood, dark colors, animal designs. This is what evolved. . . my own take on a tribal mask. The spiral decoration just felt right	Tribal Hunt Mask-- other side 342 x 500 pixels (22 KB) 0 Comments I usually like to look up information, expand upon it, sketch ideas, etc. This time, I let myself just make it look the way I wanted , so I can't tell you anything about the significance of the stripes or the large eyebrows.	Dancing Gazelle Man 386 x 500 pixels (33 KB) 0 Comments Another hybrid human/animal mask with a twist. Literally. It's twisted to give the feel of fluid, dancing movement.
Dancing Gazelle Man-- side 313 x 500 pixels (23 KB) 0 Comments A triangular face, part human, part elegant and petite-faced gazelle. Horns twisted of stacked gray and ivory and red dots.	Dancing Gazelle Man-- twisted view 315 x 500 pixels (18 KB) 0 Comments Actually, it's the bead that's twisted. Twisted just enough to make it assymetrical and fluid.	Dancing Gazelle Man-- back 365 x 500 pixels (26 KB) 0 Comments A little more delicate feeling than the Tribal Hunt Mask, this Dancing Gazelle Mask just evokes a feeling of swiftness and elegant movement.
Dancing Gazelle Mask-- other side 336 x 500 pixels (21 KB) 0 Comments Alive, mischievous. . . wanna dance?	Tribal Hunt Mask- as if on a wall 333 x 500 pixels (35 KB) 0 Comments	Tribal Hunt Mask-- close up 375 x 500 pixels (36 KB) 0 Comments
Hungry Lion Mask 500 x 485 pixels (36 KB) 0 Comments Hungry Lion waiting for the lionnesses to bring their prey.	Hungry Lion Mask-- side view 446 x 500 pixels (31 KB) 0 Comments I tried a ruffled mane on another mask you didn't see. That didn't work. This time I tried snipping a halo of glass to make the mane.	Hungry Lion Mask-- back 500 x 457 pixels (32 KB) 0 Comments I believe I'm in love with Moretti browns nowadays. The light brown has such pretty streaks in it, and the chestnut has a gorgeous reddish tone.
Hungry Lion Mask-- other side 400 x 500 pixels (25 KB) 0 Comments	Zebra Woman Mask 485 x 500 pixels (50 KB) 0 Comments Masks certainly seem inherently male, don't they? Just a product of the stereotypes that kept women from being priests in many religions for thousands of years, or simply a case of something having an inherently masculine feel? Who knows?	Zebra Woman Mask-- side 366 x 500 pixels (27 KB) 0 Comments But this one, with the delicate layers of eye material framing the zebra texture body of the face, this is in femine!
Zebra Woman Mask-- back 500 x 438 pixels (45 KB) 0 Comments Maybe it's the zebra stripes? Or, maybe, it's that pear shaped zebra body...	Zebra Woman Mask-- other side 440 x 500 pixels (40 KB) 0 Comments Of course, she also reminds me of one of the characters from Camp Lazlo on Cartoon Network, so who am I to speculate about her personality??	King 1024 x 917 pixels (142 KB) 0 Comments This is the third lion face I tried. He's very pared down, very simple in design.
King-- side 427 x 500 pixels (33 KB) 0 Comments I like his colors best of the three. Did I tell ya I'm really, really liking Moretti browns lately??	King-- back 500 x 425 pixels (44 KB) 0 Comments Just in case there's any doubt :)	King-- another view 500 x 480 pixels (41 KB) 0 Comments
Did Groucho know Walt?? 618 x 768 pixels (69 KB) 0 Comments Hmm, this one broke the bead release before I could get the shape I wanted, but I kept playing anyway.	Did Groucho Know Walt?? Back view 408 x 500 pixels (32 KB) 0 Comments Funny looking, I know, but just like most of my experiments, it led me to learn a new skill. Watch for more elaborate masks with lots of frilly extensions.	Many Masks 500 x 424 pixels (52 KB) 0 Comments Group shot of four of the masks. These are going on eBay 12/11/06.
Handful of Many Masks 500 x 383 pixels (51 KB) 0 Comments Going on eBay 12/11/06/.

Thanks for stopping by to visit with AngelinaBeadalina! I'm really just plain ol' Angie or Ang, but the catchy name does suit me in the sense that I'm a motormouth who loves to play with words almost as much as I love to play with glass! You can find me here at BeadArtists.org, in my Etsy shop, or in my daily blog. You can get links to those places at www.angelinabeadalina.com (click on it above). Please pardon the use of my "official" website as a traffic control signal at the moment-- at least, that's what it makes me think of when I look at it. . . lots of directions to other places where there are updates on a daily basis. Tech-stuff would not be one of those things that I love or that comes naturally to me ;) Well, enough rambling for now, come on in, look around. . . have fun exploring my glass experiments and ideas. Peace, Ang
