Well, I know it took longer than I expected, but I am back now!
Two days ago, I experienced the craziest day of my life. For one thing, I went into surgery to remove what remained of my cancer. That would have been a big day by itself.
However, I woke up after my surgery to learn that I had become an aunt. I won’t go into great detail, but my sister-in-law had to have an emergency c-section. She and baby are fine, though the latter will be in intensive care for a while. Wonderful, bizarre, crazy day.
And now, I promised you all masks when I returned to this blog. I will keep my promise with two whole posts. Here I will give you the rest (some are in my first mask post) of the original set of fourteen I made in college. In the next post, I will display my more recent creations.
Enjoy!
The skull-mask above comes with a story. I made it as a release for anger, and as a statement. Shortly before creating the Muri Kai, I learned that cosmetics companies had been (and presumably still are) going into impoverished places all over the world and convincing people to buy their products. Forget having enough money for shoes, you need lipstick!
And there you have the old guard. Tomorrow, I hope, I will post pictures of my more recent creations.
Glad to be back! I look forward to catching up on your blogs!

I’ve seen these for years. Some hang in my house. And they still amaze and delight me. Just as do you, Anne. As do you.
