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
