Maskarade Mask Shop - Italian Masks

These masks are all made by Master Maskmakers in Venice. The profession
of mask making was founded in Venice, Italy in 1436 by the Masters of the
Painters Guild. The artist presses papier mache into a mold, coats the mask
with plaster then applies a second layer of paper mache. The mask is then
reinforced & backed with gauze. This age old process is still used today.
All styles from Plague Doctor to Commedia dell’Arte to Fantasy.

“Without his wishing it, Hiei looked
into the mind of the Harlequin and saw...
delighted laughter of innocent children mixing
rainbow-colored sweet threads with demented mad
merriment of crazed carnivals…” Koko-chan & the Blue Spanch
