Masquerade Ball by L.A.S.S. ~ 2 Oct 2010

I was so happy and excited to be a apart of the L.A.S.S. first event: The Masquerade Ball! All on Saturday night! All the L.A.S.S. ladies and their men helped set up and transform the local basketball courts into a party arena! Here was some of our friends before we headed off home! You can see Annabelle's getting sleepy

oh! and do you wanna see the shoes? Check them out HERE!

This weekend - 18 Sept 2010

I took a break form all the work at home and headed out into town on Sat night! Very exciting for me to venture out and see who was wearing what! I spotted Olivia here with Warren coming into town from the Masquerade ball for the Desert Festival! I love how these two co-ordinated their outfits! Olivia's dress was so posh! A long red flowing dress, black long gloves and a mini black cape with an awesome mask!

Desert Festival 2010 - Mask-Making Workshop

I had never been to a Desert Festival workshop before but now that I have the time I said "Why not?" The Mask Making Workshop caught my eye and I went to it. The ladies there had almost everything you need - mask bases, feathers, fabric, paper, glue, glitter - you name it!

I started with a blank mask and not knowing what to do. The ladies suggested that I have a concept or and idea before I set off doing anything. I looked around at the materials and saw the many cans of spray paint. This brought me back to a guy named Wayne Gabaylo, an artist in Ouahu Hawaii, who makes all of his artworks out of spray painting! He makes a show out of the process too, putting layer after layer on top of each other to produce such stunning and imaginative artwork!

That's when I decided - This mask is going to be inspired by W. Gabaylo
