Starting a new Mask series

Elisa and I are starting a new series of masks-Insects. I decided to start out with the Hercules Beetle. Here are some teaser images to wet your whistle.

Beetle-2
Carapace covers.

Beetle-3
Head piece

Beetle-4
The group so far. The actual carapace, one of the carapace covers, head piece, some legs and you can see the mask in the corner.

Beetle-5
The mask with a faux gold finish (but not cemented into place). I still have to enamel the mask and finish the legs and wings.

Beetle-6
And here is the start of the enameling.
