Mardi Gras Masks in Glass {2013}

 

Years ago, I purchased three Mardi Gras comedy masks from Studio Inferno in purple, green, and gold glass. I love to display these annually for the Mardi Gras season.

This year, I have displayed each in the three windows of the dining room. I used powerful suction cups to attach them in each window. I love the purple, green, and gold glow.

  1. I'm really loving those glass comedy masks! What a nice touch to the windows in the dining room--you created a "windowscape" with the Mardi Gras bunting hanging on the back fence of the courtyard! Have a great day! :)
