Description
Each year I make dozens of Mardi Gras Mask. My mask look a little different from what you will see in New Orleans or other large cities. I make Courir de Mardi Gras mask. This is the traditional Mardi Gras for Cajuns and Creoles in many rural communities in South Central to South Western Louisiana. The Courir de Mardi Gras participants dress in colorful costumes, screen mask, and skirted cone shaped hats. They ride through their communities collecting ingredients for a community gumbo.
The final stage of making these mask is their large fabric stuffed nose. Every year I get a few request for noseless mask or mask with noses painted on instead of the large fabric noses that often include shiny jingle bells on the tip. Some of these mask received noses while others didn't.
