Artist's Comments

Here's a preview of my new style - textural dye effects, carved edges, hammered leather, rivets and a few Steampunk inspired shapes.
I wanted to achieve the look of carved wood.
I adore the whole Steampunk genre. My father designs full size steam engines, and was instrumental in rescuing many of them from the scrap-heap in the 70's, so I guess I've grown up surrounded by it. It's kind of a natural progression for me and I'm looking forward to making more like this.

I really like steam punk myself. I very much like the studs and varied shapes in this mask. The texture is great.
