My mask for the Red Gate christmas party turned up. It's, well, a mite camper than I anticipated.
Oh well. I'm sure I'll cope.

A 'Diablito' mask from the Boruca tribe (indigenous to the south Pacific coast of Costa Rica) that I picked up at the Galeria Namu in San Jose.
Canon 580EX on a stand low camera right, and behind the mask fired back towards it. handheld gold reflector to camera left put some light back onto the mask, and a handheld white foamcore board used camera right to add a little extra fill on the right side.
Brenda's craft this week was to make animal masks. The kids did a great job of decorating their masks and they looked so cute wearing them!
Mask from The Mask by Tomoko Fuse.
Folded from a 12 inch sheet of 80 lb circa select paper.
This paper turned out not to be very good for wet folding. I had to stop shaping since the paper was tearing in multiple places.
We will not bend or fail until the blood of every last Jew from the youngest child to the oldest elder is spilt to redeem our land!

Wilberforce House, Kingston-upon-Hull, East Yorkshire
Kingston-upon-Hull, or Hull to give it its familiar name, has more museums per head of population than any other English city other than Oxford and Cambridge.
Wilberforce House is perhaps the most famous museum in Hull, the 'Slave Museum' referred to by Philip Larkin in the poem Here. William Wilberforce, who led the parliamentary campaign to abolish slavery, was born in the house.
The Hull Slave Museum was the first of its kind in the world, being established in 1906 on the first centenary of the abolition of the slave trade in the home of the English leading campaigner for abolition. Generations of East Yorkshire children learned of the cruelty and injustice of slavery from the ghoulish and dramatic displays of slave ship interiors, and the like.
But what was politically acceptable in 1906 had become, by the start of the 21st century, a bit of an embarrassment to the authorities. In preparation for the bicentenary, the museum was closed in 2005 for a multi-million pound refit, and expunged of all eurocentric and colonialist attitudes.
On reopening in 2007, it had become a warren of brilliantly lit, didactic, interactive displays, completely lacking in atmosphere, a bit like walking around a website. It is a triumph of New Labour political correctness.
The reordering of the museum was rarely out of the local press in the first half of 2007, and also made the nationals, as Hull people mourned the passing of the old musuem, remembering how the frisson of fear and danger had taught them more about the horrors of slavery than multiple choice push buttons ever could. Indeed, some people have suggested that you might just as well be at home in front of the internet as bother to travel for it.
And yet, travel people do - in the entrance of the museum is a big display of well-known visitors, photographed beside the statue of William Wilberforce or in the entrance to the museum itself, shown above, among them Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Kofe Annan, Tony Blair, Jesse Jackson, Bill Clinton, Gordon Brown, Saint Clare Short and, of course, John Prescott. Nevertheless, without the museum, it is unlikely that these people would ever have washed up in fascinating, beautiful Hull, except possibly John Prescott of course...
Her return is slow and loaded with danger. Especially when all is enveloped in darkness and spirits are allowed to roam free. Only candle lights flicker with a yellowish glow, keeping bad spirits away.
