Like its counterparts in the Caribbean, South America, and Europe, this pre-Lenten festival is framed by the original masks worn by people in masked balls, krewe members in parades, tourists and partygoers during the final crescendo of madness known as Fat Tuesday. The masks you will see here are a reflection of the beautiful and compelling art form that has been passed down from generation to generation. They are molded, poured, painted, and fired by native artists of a city that sees people wearing masks every day- New Orleans. When you first lift up your individually wrapped mask, you will be taken in by its stunning presentation. Feel free to fall in love with the hand-painted eyelashes, eyebrows, makeup, lips, and designs on the faces of these signed collectors items.
Every mask is made with the philosophy that the boundaries are limitless as to what can be created.
You will see masks of a different breed here- they range from theatrical to caricatures to seasonal to just about anything you can think of. To send someone special one of these as a gift is an excellent idea - trust us, you won't see it in their garage sale next year. What you'll see is a smile, and you'll be pleased knowing that you gave them something that will last just as long as people are fascinated with the magic and mystery of masks.
