Festive Tribal Mask 2

Description

Not quite a new mask. I posted this one once before but it didn't have nearly enough bling. So I added more...and more. Now it is scaring my hubby in the night. XD

I tried taking this outside to photograph this time and am better with it than I was, but still don't think I got it well. The black glaze is very black, but also high gloss and I'm either losing the detail or the color. :-? Plus, the rafia is so..um...voluminous...that the shadows obscure the glaze deco on the face. I would welcome suggestions.

Why do I need these things anyway? It is a need BTW. There is some kind of addiction to masks here and if I am not buying them I am making things like this.

The face is ceramic and glaze. The bling is a dichroic glass piece with black and gold beads across the forehead. The hair is blue, purple, and green rafia with gold wire worked inhere and there.
