paper Mache

Yesterday was Halloween and a good time for young and old to poke fun at evil and party into the evening dressed in costumes and masks of fictional characters. But maybe evil spirits are aroused by these festivities and once awakened will linger on past the bewitching hour and maybe their intent is not benign. Just maybe they are looking for an opportunity to do their haunting. While working on a concept for my post I decided to work with mirrored reflections so today at the local swap meet I came across these blue-lensed sunglasses and an idea started to form. When I was putting together my costume yesterday I found amongst my Halloween goodies a rather harmless Pierrot paper Mache mask and once I saw these glasses I knew I was onto something. What I didn’t know was just what the blue-mirrored eyeglass lens and strong cross light would do to make this simple and buffoonish character mask into a very evil looking entity. Had I awakened one of these evil beings?
