Venetian Mask

This Venetian Mask came home with me on my trip to Italy two years ago and sits in my quilting room.  It's covered in fabric unlike the traditional masks that are often painted or covered in colorful paper.  

We saw them making some other masks out of fabric.  They had a huge stash of fabric scraps that they used to make these masks.  They're mainly made out of upholstery fabric, but it looked like there were some silks and other types of fabric in their stash.
