Guess what, everyone?!?!
The lovely Hannah Kittell was assisting on an opera, "The Fairy Queen", based off of A Midsummer Night's Dream and they needed a mask for when one of the characters is transformed into a donkey. So Hannah was nice enough to get me my first commission, ever, for one of my masks. It was a hectic three weeks, but I'd say it was worth it.
