28th September 2013: The Mask Yesterday, I bought an immitation Venitian carnival mask that had the right kind of shape. Now I'm cutting it to better suit the costume, and getting the paints ready.
Not sure whether to keep it the canon red colour, which is a pain to get right, or a tarnished brass colour...
26th September 2013: The First Step Well, with a little help, the base robe has been completed. This is only the basic version, still to be accessorised and decorated, but I'm pleased with it so far.
