Module 10 Mask

The photos below is what I used as my inspirations.

1.

My finish product of my mask.

I tired to use a element from each of my inspirations. When finding out that i have to create a design for a mask i was quite excited. It was something that i  haven't had the chance of doing and it was a new experience. I tired to make it my own by making a twist of the design into my own style.
