I'm gearing up for another Halloween season! My most popular mask this year by far is the Day of the Dead Sugar Skull style. I am painting like crazy right now. What I love about them is that no matter how many times I do the same pattern, because they are hand painted they always come out unique. This year I got smart and put a layout in my listing to make it easy for customers to choose the pattern and color. Of course I am open to doing lots more patterns, but right now they are separate listings of ready-to-go masks instead of custom orders.
I'm hoping to move a few more leaf masks too, since they are my absolute favorite to create. But I'm happy to be making any mask! Meanwhile I am also thinking of other costume accessories to add to my shop. I already have a couple sets of faerie wings and I would love to make more. I have a few floral headbands but I'd like to make full floral crowns. I have lots of ideas, but not always the time to make them. It's hard balancing a full time clock-in job with my seasonal rush. I always say I'm going to do my prep way ahead of time, but always end up here, rushing to bring all my ideas to life in time!
Oh well. Sometimes the rush is exactly what I need to do my best work. ;)
