Enter Lucha Libre mask designs on Spoonflower. I saw these and couldn't resist. So I ordered some for Thanksgiving.
Because don't these masks just scream about gratitude? Don't you think? No?
Anyway, I thought they'd be fun.
So I ordered 4 designs. I wasn't so good at paying attention to the detailed descriptions of the fabric. As a result the Lucha Libre Mask of All Time is a bit small.
I don't regret ordering it though, because it has little spikes for the headpiece--and that's just too cool. The mask just barely fits on my head without any lacing up the back. But as I said, that doesn't matter, because it's way cool.
Josephina felt so thankful about her Mariposa Magnifico mask that she wanted to go rob a bank in it. However, this post will ruin the anonymity factor--meaning bank robbery just won't be a part of our expressions of gratitude this year.
Anyway, the most delightful surprise so far with these masks was El Fuego Furioso which was designed for a cotton knit. (Spoonflower folks were extremely patient and credited me since I originally ordered it on a regular quilting fat quarter and then had to reorder it on the knit.) It was a worthy reorder. It really works like a lucha libre mask. You can pull it over your head. It fits snug. Perfect for giving thanks, for robbing the rich to give to the poor, for doing the laundry, whenever you feel you need a little extra oomph or a bit of super-strength...
