The rhinestone mask is inspired by a costume created for a charity event in Las Vegas in 2013. Built for a circus artist’s ballet solo within a larger performance, the costume centered on a pair of pointe shoes encrusted with rhinestones.
The Rhinestone Mask
The mask is built on a heavyweight interfacing base with an overlayer of silver glitter dot fabric. The upper of the mask is backed with a white spandex. The eyes are covered with the glitter dot, with the spandex removed. Vision is partially but not completely obscured. The rhinestones adhered to the mask fabric are crystal and aurora borealis (AB) finish, in multiple sizes.
This project is funded in part by the Cornell Council for the Arts.
