09.06.2022 After concentrating on creating half masques for the past year I finally got the ‘itch’ to start work on a full face one - something I’d been putting off for a variety of reasons including the 6-8 week lead time each one takes to create. So inspired by our current Autumn season here in Australia and a really good good rumple around in my treasure trove of materials, I started work on ‘Autunno’. I’m so happy to show you the result. ... With a veil of shot-silk jersey and an overlay of a rather lovely beige sequinned net edged with a heavily hand-glitzed Japanese pale pink braid. Her diamanté and rhinestone tiara is framed by tumble of gilded Oak and Rose leaves in which nestle white Edelweiss, Swarovski bejewelled gum nuts and gilded Bougainvillea florets. A glittering butterfly and a liberal scattering of Austrian Rhinestones, glass beading and Swarovski crystals complete this interpretation of Autumn beauty. Available from my Etsy shop and minasmartglobal.com, ‘Autunno’ is a one-off piece that is dated, catalogued and signed to preserve artistic security and integrity.

01.06.2022 So happy to show you Violetta, the newest addition to my half-masque range. With a black net base overlaid with a filigree gold netting and heavily deconstructed exquisite violet bead-embossed lace, Violetta has a beautiful flower of silver rhinestones and shot-beading circling a translucent violet cabochon. Rising above and around the flower is a swirl of golden ‘branches’ studded with dark purple miniature roses edged with black lace highlights and black teardrop rhine...stones. The entire piece is framed with black ostrich feathers and a small posy of violet roses under which nestles a subtle drape of deconstructed vintage findings. Black lace, pearl beading, gold braid trim and a liberal scattering of rhinestones complete the piece. Designed to provide a sense of subtle, elegant luxury Violetta is a one-off creation, signed, dated and catalogued for preservation of artistic security and authenticity. She’s available from my ‘Tiaura Arts’ Etsy shop, minasmartglobal.com website or by direct email to me.

30.05.2022 I’m so pleased to introduce Varietà, my over-the-top glambouyant new half-masque which I completed only today. With a truly theatrical gold/red base covering from which a striking flare of red feathers fly, Varietà reflects the exhilarating world of traditional vaudeville theatre. Luxuriously trimmed with deconstructed, gold braiding which has been heavily hand-glitzed with ruby-red Swarovski elements, old-gold beading and red and silver rhinestones, Varietà has a cen...tral highlight of a decorative, colourfully beaded Babushka figurine. Deconstructed vintage findings and lustrous violet pearl beading complete the central highlight. On one side nestles a post of miniature gilded roses from which drapes an unusual red/gold beaded tassle. Opposite, a chain of crystalline beads sparkles Varietà is a masque designed to make a true theatrically eye-catching statement wherever and whenever it is worn or displayed. Available from my ‘Tiaura Arts’ Etsy shop or by email direct to me (this saving the admin fees charged by online sites), Varietà is a one-off creation, signed, dated and catalogued for preservation of artistic security and authenticity.

15.05.2022 So happy to show you my latest half masque which I’ve named Skye. Skye’s base is covered in the beautiful Japanese silk brocade that so many people have pr...eviously admired, and trimmed with an unusual rhinestone embossed hand-painted hard gold edging and braids of varying shadings. A lavish hand-spritzing of deep blue Swarovski elements, crystal beads, silver and blue-toned rhinestones, and pearl beading has been applied and the centrepiece features a deconstructed Parisian brooch. A flurry of AB crystals and a plume of deep blue feathers and a hand painted gold rose provide an attractive, eye-catching framing of the whole. I really hope you like it. Skye is the last in a set of four I’ve created within a specific colour theme and that showcases the various styles I offer: half masques; half masques on a stick; full face hand-held masques and full-face masques As with all my work, my masques can be worn, or used as an interesting decor addition. Each is a ‘one off’ and available through my ‘Tiaura Arts’ Etsy shop or direct from me via Messenger or email (direct selling allows me to remove the fees I am charged by online sellers).

25.01.2022 My latest work, "Estrella". She was born out of a desire to use some beautiful material I have had for many years in a way that would retain its unique design. She will be available on my Etsy shop for $AUD 420.00 with free worldwide shipping. www.etsy.com/shop/tiauraarts

25.01.2022 Working on my latest creation, Rose Adagio, the first full face mask I have done for a quite a while..............

24.01.2022 Two of my latest half masks .... Nikiya on the left has gold net overlaid over a gold leaf filigree and decorated with gold braid, rhinestones and Swarovski pearls. Mozart on the right is a splendour of blue velvet, silver braid, pearl beading and Swarovski elements. ...

24.01.2022 Although my hands are recovering well from the post-op stiffness their lack of flexibility has proven a bit of a barrier to my creativity and is resulting in very few pieces being completed. With new work being currently so curtailed, I thought it would you might be interested in seeing a small selection of my inventory with an emphasis on the detailing on each. By the way ... all of these are available on my Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/tiauraarts) and are one-off creations with their artistic integrity catalogue-secured.

23.01.2022 These two masks are currently winging their way to new homes; one to California and one to Canada.

20.01.2022 So happy that "Spring" is about to wend her way to a new home in Calgary, Canada. Another unique Tiaura Arts creation that will hopefully give her new owner as much pleasure as I had in creating her. It is a wonderful feeling to just let your imagination run wild and often the results surprise me.

13.01.2022 Thought I’d take a little break from my full face mask creativity and concentrate instead on building up my stock of half-face masks.

12.01.2022 So happy to finally present a mask I created back in early November last year. Named ‘Rising Dawn’, she is my vision of the sun goddess rising above a frost covered garden. She is adorned in gold and silver wire lace - with each piece manually attached onto a net base - and hand-glitzed with Swarovski pearls, crystals and elements, vintage glass beads and faux pearls, and hard-lacquered Art Deco flowers. Her crown is silver lace, Swarovski Crystal drops and Austrian Rhineston...es. Available from any of my (below listed) online outlets, she is priced at only 200.00; (238.00; $390AUD) plus postage (worldwide), ‘Rising Dawn’ is a one-off creation, signed, dated and catalogued for preservation of artistic security and authenticity. www.etsy. com/shop/tiauraarts Tiaura Arts - handmade masks & headdresses www.callingallartisans.life/vendors/tiaura-arts-store Website: www.tiauraarts.com Instagram: @tiauraarts

11.01.2022 Isn’t it interesting using materials and/or methods we’ve never tried before? The results of are often surprising and always worth the time and effort spent. I experimented as such last month when I decided to make a mask depicting Spring. Realising that, in order to achieve any semblance of the look I was seeking, I was going to need to incorporate flowers, as well as foliage into the piece. These were items I had never before worked with. Nevertheless, tongue set firmly b...etween teeth and an unlimited range of swear words at my disposal, I set about my task. After all, if it was a failure, the trusty rubbish bin was my very best friend! I confess that, although working with flora is way out of my comfort zone, I’m not unhappy with the finished result - even though she turned out far different to what I originally envisaged. With deconstructed embroidered Japanese net as her head covering, the look of verdancy has been achieved by reattaching each piece manually and glitzing it with rhinestones. Her golden, rainbow-shot crown and hair pieces - all hand-glitzed with Austrian rhinestones, Swarovski crystals and glass beading and findings - are surrounded by a cascade of flowers and framed by branches of briar rose from which are suspended dark emerald green drops embedded with diamantes. A spray of seed pearls rises from within a bed of roses set within her crown. Available in my (below) Etsy shop for just $AUD380, Spring is a one/off creation which has been signed, dated and catalogued for preservation of artistic security and authenticity. www.etsy.com/shop/tiauraarts Instagram: @tiauraarts with Zoe Oakley.

10.01.2022 I thought I’d re-share the commencement and finish of my interpretation of Mab, the proud and beautiful Elven Queen. Surveying her domain from under her golden cornibus, and crown of green rhinestones and Swarovski crystals, she is swathed in a truly beautiful silver and white drapery which has been heavily hand-glitzed with pearl beading, rhinestones and Swarovski elements. As with all my creations Mab is a one-off creation, signed, dated and catalogued for preservation of artistic security and authenticity and can be seen on my Instagram page (@tiauraarts) and purchased from my ‘Tiaura Arts’ Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/tiauraarts) where other examples of my work can also be found.

Each is a one-off creation which, for artistic security and preservation of authenticity, has been signed, dated and catalo...gued with many now being available in my Etsy shop which can be found at: www.etsy.com/shop/tiauraarts I do welcome any queries through my Messenger facility and am available for commissions.
