Miniature Masquerade Masks by Diane Paone
When it comes to the mini masquerade mask, Diane Paone is the industry authority. Paone is an award winning miniature masquerade mask artist, who studied at Rockland Community College, and also California College of Art. Although she creates other items, most are impressed by her miniature work. The detail and uniqueness of each piece is truly remarkable to say the least.
Paone creates exquisite one of a kind or OOAK pieces of art, that are tiny yet elaborate. These three dimensional novelty pieces are designed for dollhouses, but they could easily be used as accessories, souvenirs, or keepsakes. They are almost like a little masquerade mask charm.
According to Paone, “[t]he masks are made to 1:12 scale and measure approximately 1/2″ wide x 1 1/2″ long (22mm x 38mm) not including the extending tassels or feathers.” It’s incredible the detail that this artist captures with such small materials. These little pieces are masquerade mask art.
Not only does Paone autograph each unique piece she creates, she also numbers them, which can only make her pieces considered collectibles, in the near future, if not already. Donned with fine glitter and impeccable embellishments, Peone backs her glitter masquerade mask with a money back guarantee.
The delightful pieces go for around $40, but the quality and craftsmanship is worth it. The pictures are nice, but you really must see these pieces in person to appreciate the attention to detail, and the uniqueness of her art. Some of the crystal masquerade mask pieces are made from real gold and silver, and even include Swarovski crystal.
Customers who have purchased pieces from Paone, has written words of praise and satisfaction regarding their buying experience. Clients describe her work as “gorgeous” and “exquisite.” These are not cheap masquerade masks. They describe her has being honest and talented, and have experienced quick shipping as well.
Another miniature artist is Ann Designs, a creator of one of a kind miniature masquerade mask on a stick. Measuring about 1 ½ inches wide, and about 6 inches in height, these adorable little masks would be perfect for a child’s dollhouse, or to accentuate an elaborate party. They also would fit in nicely at a reception, as a fine ornament.
Ann adorns her tiny creations with glitter, stones, and feathers for a truly fine look. A self taught artist from the United Kingdom, Ann personally sells all of her pieces to buyers, which is a luxury.
