Mardi Gras Mask Contest
Friday, January 30th, 2009 by tcg
It’s time for another fun filled contest! This time around the theme is Mardi Gras. I want to see your best Masquerade Masks. Get out your purple, green, and gold paint. Pretend you need a stunning mask to wear with your gown or tuxedo to a Mardi Gras Ball. Be creative!
1st Annual That Costume Girl Mardi Gras Mask Contest
Rules:
~Email a picture of you wearing your mask to ThatCostumeGirl@gmail.com.
~Pictures should be no larger than 800 x 800 pixels in JPEG format.
~Entries must be received by February 21, 2009.
~Two winners will be selected on or about Mardi Gras, February 24, 2009.
~Please no professional mask artists. If you are a professional mask maker, you may submit a picture of your work and a link to your store but you will not be eligible for a prize.
Prize packages include a 2009 Cloisonné Endymion medallion.
I’ve added a few mask templates to my How-to gallery for your convenience. You can use the templates to get started on a fun project for the entire family. Trace the template onto paper plates, cardboard, construction paper, or fun foam. You can even use scrap newspaper for paper mache.
Decorate the masks with paint or markers. Use scrap ribbon left over from the holidays to trim the mask. Decoupage fabric or wrapping paper like a collage. Punch a hole on each side of the mask for an elastic band or ribbon. Or decorate a dowel and glue it to one side of the mask as a handle.
I can’t wait to see all the wonderful masks!
