Embroidered Sugar Skull Mask

Halloween has come and gone but i am still living it! Every day!
I designed, embroidered, and made this mask inspired by the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead. I used embroidery floss, satin, pearls, and ribbon.
Here is the sketch:

Stretched on the embroidery hoop! Cutting it out was so scary!

Final result with the headband i also made. I cut circles out of fabric and sewed in pearls for the flowers.

Me getting to be a fancy model:

Many thanks to Sara Barnes for snapping the photos!
