Instructions and Disclaimer
It must be understood that these are
not Medical Masks.
In fact, it must be understood that these are actually
must include a Head Measurement
and Two Photos
One of the Front of the person's Face
and another Photo of the Side of the Face
(see further on: How to take a Head Measurement)
Please understand that
are not like handkerchiefs, bandanas or underwear-
you cannot just throw them in the washing machine. That will certainly ruin them.
If you MUST Wash them, Never wash the Painting itself!
Follow the
Instructions below.
I have
spent weeks researching the protocols for the best materials for
filters
and have made a reasonable effort to make the Masks state of the
art as far as safety.
and the triple filter most likely exceeds the average percentages of filtration.
(if you add them to your laundry, wash them in the washer and they are ruined, it's your problem)
as well as any of the millions of home-made masks that are being created all over the world today.
So if you like them and want one, these things must be understood.
Thank you, Kandra Niagra, Maskmaker

Now here is the rest of The Information:
How to Measure your Face for a Mask
The measurement is from ear to ear.
From the point where the face meets the ear, on either side
with the tape measure circling up against the bottom of the nose.
It is not necessary to measure the back of the head!
Just the face. In the above picture, the measurement reads as 10 inches.
How To Put the Mask on Your Head
and get the perfect Fit:
Here's a video showing how to tie on the Art Mask:
White Tiger Mask
|
*Tie the bands at the top back of the head
*
Pull down on the chin, * First adjust the nose wire so that it fits snugly over the bridge of your nose. (if you wear glasses and they fog up- the mask is probably too high up on your face) *Tuck in the hemline across the jawbone
|
* The Tie Bands sweep upwards and tie at the TOP of the head. not the back of the head:
See the difference in the fit here:
wrong and right
The angle is quite steep- it should feel secure, pulling the fabric upwards against the jawbone. (please! no baggy chins!!!) until the fit feels and looks right.

How the Masks are Built
It's a 2-piece pattern.
There's a bendable wire at the bridge of the nose.
Anti-Pill Fleece is soft and very stretchy, so the mask conforms to your face.
Breathing through the nose and mouth are easy, but
your voice will be muffled.
What is used for a Filter?
These Masks have three layers of protection between your face
and the outside world...
|
Remember, these are Paintings! Do not wash the painted side of the Mask!
|
New Materials list: a soft jersey knit, a blue shop towel and the Anti-Pill Fleece.
The soft Jersey and the Blue Shop Towel are Both are sewed right to the Fleece and have been pre-washed.

A lot of tutorials are teaching folks to make their own masks from
The Blue Shop Towels!

Care of your Art Mask
Hand Wash the Inside ONLY!
Remember, these Masks are
Wearable Paintings and should be handled delicately.
Spray with water and dab at the filters with a wet washcloth.
Do not wash them in the washing machine
or dry them in the dryer.
This WILL Destroy the Painting:
