Masquerade Mask

Every curve of this lace mask glitters with layers of red and black rhinestones, flanked by reconstructed faux flowers with rhinestone-tipped stamens and trailing dark leaves — the kind of piece that makes people lean in for a closer look. Madison Block walks through her process of embellishing a pre-made lace mask, from rhinestone placement with a wax pencil and tweezers to rebuilding the flowers into something far more dramatic than they started. A perfect slow craft for a quiet afternoon when you want to get lost in the details.
