Miniature Mask Exchange! Who wants to participate?

I read about a miniature mask exchange, where artists created miniature masks to collect other artists work. I have seen some amazing work from you all and believe this would be amazing inspiration and it would create a niche for us as a group and a great promotion tool.

The artists involved in this online exchange would create masks and send them to a "mask master" and that master, would send each artist one of the other artists mask. And she had collected hundreds of really cool ornate miniature masks and permanently affixed them to a turquoise felt covered piece of wood and it look amazing. I would love to start a miniature mask exchange, would anyone want to participate? Please let me know,  I will start it on my own and hope others want to participate.

I love the idea of collecting other PC artists work and this seems the best way to do it, and everyone benefits! And it can become for all involved a great collection of art, so what do you say?
As you can see I am already creating miniature masks, this is my very first attempt and I am letting happen organically. I think she is going to be my Paisley Goddess! She is not pretty, but she is the Princess nest in line to the throne! =) With that nose she could be a vaudeville sensation! 

To those interested in participating, leave a comment here and we will see if we can't get this started! This exchange would be open to Polymer Clay artists only, others will be open to all artists! One thing remains the same, they Must be within 6 inches total! Don't forget to comment and be included.

I originally wanted to share this entire book with you all, it serves as visual inspiration and has sparked off so many different design choices and looks for me. With inspiration from original pieces of tribal and ethnic jewelry brings my mind to wonder and almost day dream of these fantastic Artisans working out their concepts design choices and components, that were usually native to their environment creating an original look from their surrounding found and crafted objects. 

However the process of scanning the pages is daunting and just hard to say the least. But there is such amazing amount of visual inspiration, that I am all giddy about sharing it, for those of you who can be inspired as I am by visual stimulation... and this is top notch visual stimulation. 

So I need some encouraging words from you, if you are interested in seeing and being inspired by these works of art then please say so. Let me know that this is something I need to share with all of you, and you would come back to read it to be inspired as i have been. This will encourage me to continue scanning each page... one by one, if I know that others are benefiting from this it will inspire me to share more and not simply forget about it! 

So come on let me know, I will however clean up the scanned pic's and make them as presentable as possible, as not to distort the pic's and text. I also will leave the files really large so you can click to enlarge and read. All this takes so much of my time, but if I do it as I am creating it becomes less of a taks and become more of an inspiration boost! Yea or Nea, either way leave me a comment and subscribe, if you don't want to miss a page!
