MysticMagicMasks

Since the beginning of time my family have always told me I’ve had a talented imagination. Where some may see a pile of junk to me it would be a world of adventure and creation. I can see past the obvious and look deep into the heart of possibilities, to create something from nothing.

I started out making things as a simple hobby that brought me happiness. After much encouragement I then decided to take it to the next step by trying to sell and earn pocket money from my ever growing crafting collection. With amazing success and a strange spiritual epiphany while wondering around a local travelling Indian Tribe, I was lead onto creating dream catchers which I then started to sell at local craft fairs.

The name ‘Mystic Magic’ came about in 2005 where I took part in one of my very first big craft fair events with the Fairyland Trust. Leading up to this I had been busy at work making many colourful dream catchers, puppets and other strange and wonderful crafty bits on the side, all of which proved to be extremely popular...

When I moved up to high school like most people my life took a downward spiral due to thoughtless bullies! (But that’s a story for another time) Through the lessons that I much enjoyed I started to learn and understand more about art and fashion. From then onwards my imagination and creativity ran riot to push the boundaries to above and beyond!!


BE DIFFERENT!

It was only until 2009 when I finally found my calling to be a Mask Maker/Designer after following a day out in London to see the epic west end musical ‘Phantom of the Opera’. Everything down to the stage, performance, props and most of all the costumes was breath taking! Not long after that my craving to make masks and headpieces began.

Often I’m asked if I’ve had any training or whether I’ve been to an 'Art academy', but to set the record straight I’ve taught myself everything I know. I’m a great believer in individuality and personally I think as good as it is to learn new and helpful techniques, sometimes to be taught by another can take away your inner magic.

"I'm my own person and I like to be different!"


INSPIRATION,

My ideas and inspiration are collected from collaborations of various top fashion magazines as well as inspiring photography and creative videos. Just like I’ve been brought up to believe, Inspiration can come from anywhere, whether it’s from a wonderful window display you see down the high street or a simple colourful Autumns leaf falling from a naked tree, even a pile of trashy junk!

The possibilities are endless when in the right frame of mind...


DESIGNER MYSTIC MAGIC

Quirky, stylish and mainly outrageous my dramatic creations produce a stunning statement piece to whoever has the pleasure of wearing them. Each and every imaginative design is delicately handmade with meticulous attention to detailing using only the best of quality materials, and all are finished with their very own label ensuring it’s a genuine Mystic Magic design.

Often describe as an Alexander McQueen meets Tim Burton styling, each of my fantastical creations breath a life and story of their own. Taken from transcending inspirations of raw emotion dressed up to interpret beautiful works of wearable art. Drama and adventure awaits all who wishes to indulge.

As each Mystic Magic design is specifically unique to the individual, my specialty has become in ‘Bespoke Orders’ which allows you the customer to have that ultimately one of a kind designer creation that you’ve always dreamed of tailormade to suit your own specifications. No matter how weird or unusual your ideas may seem, I cater to all customers of any style/occasion and will do my very best to bring your vision to life just the way you imagined and maybe even better!
