In the space of a month I have played with more pastillage than I think I have in the past ten years. Its one of those things where you always wanted to do it, had the ideas, but never the time.
Well now I have succeeded and fullfilled a recent desire, to play in Pastillage.
Ever since a friend of mine who owns a publishing company, Beverley Dutton, of B.Dutton Publishing. Squires and Squires Kitchens fame told me of a book she had published called "THE MASKS OF PROFESSOR AGOSTINNO DESSI", I had always thought that masks and pastillage would go hand in hand.
Art is a form, paper mache and pastillage are our mediums and so I got creating. And just as Beverley had fallen in love with the masks of the famed Professor, I too have fallen in love with the form of the mask in the artisitic sense of Pastillage.
I hope some of you agree and like the efforts of the past month .
If you like the original masks of Profoessor Agostinno Dessi then you can go to
http://www.squires-shop.com/ and buy the book, you can travel to Italy and see the real things or you can simply enjoy the sweeter versions in photo form that I have added here.
Enjoy my friends and Sweet dreams !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
