It's that time of the year when we begin in earnest to find a unique costume for Halloween. Whether we're going to a big party, or just passing out treats to the neighborhood kiddos we all want a costume that will make an impression.
And aren't we all sick to death of the naughty nurse and zombie costumes? At EarthWorks, we've got just the thing to ensure you will be the envy of party and the Belle of the Ball - hand-made masquerade masks by Liquid Fae Studios .
The history of the masquerade mask is quite storied. Although today they are popular only for costume parties and masquerade balls, they get their roots in 13th Century Italy.
Through-out the medieval period, people donned masks to be anonymous and free of judgement for their more "subversive" activities. Masks became an emblem of the Carnivale of Venice, which was at that time a celebration of hedonism, and were outlawed by the early Catholic Church.
Popularity of the masquerade re-emerged (with blessings from the church) when they became a part of the pre-lenten celebration that the Carnevale is known as today.
In our country, these masks became a staple of our Mardi Gras celebrations, and have spread in popularity to our Halloween celebrations.
We have a very limited supply of these gorgeous one-of-a-kind half-masks made in the Venetian style for you.
Come and get yours fast!
