Cycling

 

This was a commissioned gift for the editor of a local community newspaper. After 31 years of dedicated and loving service to the community , she is retiring and plans to spend a lot of time bike riding with her husband.

This was sooo much fun to make. It is a mask I call cycling because in addition to biking, cycling takes on all kinds of meanings that apply to her. The face, lips, eyebrows and eye balls are all made of fused glass. The hair is bike chain and the eyes are accented with bike gears. Her nose is a #2 pencil and her left earring is a stack of mini newspapers . The right earring is made of computer keys...page up and page down. It is equipped with mounting brackets so it can hang on her wall.

 I think the recipient likes it! Yay!
