As a preface, there are no clear patterns for weaving this mask, rather instructions for work. The principle of its weaving makes it possible to express oneself, and even with the most strong desire It will not be possible to create two absolutely identical masks. Your imagination will help you create a unique accessory. The work is quite painstaking and can take a lot of time.
For the mask we need:
— Wire 1 mm thick (mine is aluminum, you can use copper, the base will be stiffer, but it will also be more difficult to weave)
— Copper wire 0.3 mm, approximately 15 meters (the colors of the wires must match)
— Mix from glass beads black and burgundy colors
— Beads, yellow, orange, red, black
— Red satin ribbon 12 mm wide, I have double-sided, 1 meter
— Sewing thread in the color of the ribbon
From the tools:
— Wire cutters
— Narrow-nose pliers or round-nose pliers
— Beading needle
- Scissors
- Lighter
- Mirror
Creating a mask can be divided into two stages: the first is creating the base; the second is embroidery with beads and beads.
For the first stage, you need to prepare a workplace; you will need a large mirror installed so that you can quickly look.
We start the base from the center of the future mask. We bend a piece of wire, approximately 3 meters long, in half. From the tip of the nose, we lay the wire along the eyebrow arches, bending around the shape of the face along the outside of the mask, returning to the center. Next, we form the inner contour of the mask. In my work I strived for maximum symmetry, but if you wish, you can make an asymmetrical mask. Next, we connect the outer and inner contours with a zigzag, securing each turn.
If necessary, add new wire, but we must not forget that the fewer new ends the better. After creating the mesh inside the mask, you need to strengthen the external and internal contours of the mask; to do this, you need to tightly wrap them in a spiral. (Figure 2)
We attach the tape to the outer corners of the mask and stitch it with thread. Burn the edges of the tape with a lighter. (Figure 3)
Once the base is ready, we begin to embroider it. We also start from the center, first we attach beads to a thin wire, then we fill the space with beads. Here you can completely turn on the flight of your imagination; the mask, at your request, can be dense, like mine, or openwork. Just like in the base, when embroidering I paid great attention to symmetry. You also need to make sure that the ends of the wire do not point towards the skin, this can cause inconvenience.
