Strange times with Covid-19

What a surreal time we are in, life as we know it will be changed forever. The good news is that it sure makes us appreciate what we have and what we now realize what we have taken for granted. I wish everyone health and happiness in the midst of all of this chaos. I hope you are all keeping sane by staying in touch with yourselves, your family and your friends. I want you all to be aware of the new possibilities in creativity. Learn a new language, draw, play an instrument, play with your pets and those of you who are parents, play with your kids.The way we will get through this is through creativity, love, and kindness an some dancing. I want you all to remember that you are not alone. This will pass and with it you will have learned new things. Take care of each other and stay positive as best as you can. Since the start of all this I have been making masks by request from friends and family. I guess with millinery skills it is like making small hats. I value my work and want you all to know that my masks are not for profit. I cover my time and materials and since millinery materials are what I am using, you know you will get a well made item. These masks are all handmade by me and each design is made in limited runs. Some of the hats I am making have masks to match, very strange look indeed…My design ideas stem from all of this, the one below is an example of this. Mask meets art…I created this mask as a message of hope…this unusual design was inspired by Alexander McQueen , a sign of the times. A client in Toronto purchased it, It inspired me to make similar designs, something to keep me creative. Its like a little face hat…of sorts…with flowers and red polka-dots…
