Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare sieze the fire?
And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
---William Blake

The Tiger has been, and will always be, one of my most favorite animals. I have always had a great love for any and all cats, great or small. Also, to commemorate one of my most favorite poems by William Blake (which I have a copy hanging on the wall next to my desk) I wanted to create a mask to celebrate my love for such a beautiful piece of literature as well. Tigers are amazing creatures, which should be celebrated and appreciated often!
Hand tooled and formed leather, this mask is made out of durable 8OZ leather, painted with acrylic paints, sealed properly to prevent any water damage and provides a beautiful glossy finish. For decorative use or for wearing at parties or just for fun! A black satin ribbon is included for wearing.
I love to call my masks "wearable art" because that is exactly what they are. Each is an original in its own right, hand crafted with the utmost care and because of the nature of the leather, incredibly light weight when worn and yet still maintains its basic shape throughout.
