Leather cat mask 
Hi all, I just wanted to ask a question about finishes. I've been playing around with matte, satin, etc, etc and different brands of varnish for a while - I was wondering what you use as the finish on your mask and why? Is there a finish you know of that's truly waterproof? Just tapping into the knowledge of the group! Thanks 
I'll post your question in our journal this weekend, but you may also want to ask it at the new Facebook group I started for this Group, as well. You might get a few more immediate responses!
You can find the FB group here:

Another question about selling at a festival. I am allotted one table at a student art sale on campus, so there's not exactly a lot of room. I also wanted to share the table with my watercolors and pyrography work. But how many masks should I bring/make to sell? - Sorry for all the questions. Thank you!
oh and this one too! fav.me/d38ped9
My personal opinion is that you should take the work that meshes well with your masks. If you can have a consistent look/theme across your art and masks, I think that puts across a more professional appearance for your prospective customers. Try to have vertical displays for as much as you can, as well. They tend to catch people's eye more than laying your 2d work flat on the table. A styrofoam head for at least one of your masks is helpful as well! You can generally find them at wig or beauty supply shops.
If it helps, I've done a few display tutorials that might help.
