The Man Behind the Mask

I went straight to my parents for work for tea, and decided they had tons of interesting stuff to 365. After struggling for a while for something to take a photo of, Peter came to the rescue with this!

I made the mask when I was 11 at High Oakham School. The inside is entirely covered in metallic paint because I got a little carried away when my favourite art teacher bought some. It did look kind of cool, but I put too much of the paint on my palette and decided to cover the entire thing in dots to use the shiny colours up.

I think that's blood dripping from it's (his/hers?!) mouth, which is kind of creepy. I must have been a strange 11 year old.
