I picked up some paints and craft supplies today to start work on one of my Freyja masks. I decided to start on the Warrior/Valkyrie one first, since I'm going to wear that one to my birthday gathering next month. The other mask will show her softer side.

I laid down the first few coats of base paint on the half-mask today. I think it will need a few more layers before the original design is covered properly. I have some copper and gold metallic paints to give the mask a coppery-helm feeling with some gold details. I'm going to make some wing-clips and mount them on bobby pins for my hair as soon as I can find the perfect feathers. I bought some inner-shatter glass beads to string off the edges of the mask that really sparkle in amber and orange.

The second mask will be white, simple with little rosettes and ribbons in pale orange and red on the sides, iridescent glitter on the cheeks of the mask and gold paint around the eyes and gold "tears".

The two masks will sit on the altar I'm building for her. I bought two gorgeous little orange votive holders that have broken mirror pieces and little jeweled leaves on them today for Her. They look gorgeous all lit up.
