Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras - Inspiration came from Pfaff's Carnivale embroidery card. I especially liked the jester embroidery design (bottom right corner) and that sparked the idea for the trapunto mask and jester cap soft sculpture. The 3D mask was done using faux trapunto with water-soluble thread and decorated with hot-fix crystals. The background uses the traditional Mardi-Gras colors and the corners are decorated with doubloons.
