February Updates

It has been a strange couple of months here at MWS, and overall in the world. Weather has been nuts, even rendering the studio without power for almost a week. We also spent a lot of studio time motel hopping, a very interesting experience if I say so! Now I decided while being a bit under the weather and in bed, that I could do something, so I am updating.
Here is an interesting technique that we are re-introducing into the studio, leather sculpted costume accessories.

 Just a teaser photo for now, you will be able to see the piece in it's entirety listed in the etsy store.
There will be different colors and styles. This piece is a neck piece that doubles as an eye patch. We are very excited to make multi-use pieces and props. This is done with high quality human taxidermy eyes, up-cycled leather, and waxed cotton. We will be releasing pieces with creature eyes, mountain lion, reptile, etc.

Also soon to come, AlterEgo a creature mask line designed by K Firor here at MWS, as well as a traditional style latex, creature-horror mask line by T Colque. Details soon to come, but I can tell you they are very interesting. The new "Button" line by T.C is a continuation from this first piece:


We are having a great time experimenting for the MWHC this June, and are working to incorporate some traditional techniques that we have picked up over the years. T.C. has extensive experience in all manner of three dimensional mediums, and along with 3D illustration background they both share, K.F. has extensive experience in jewelry and textiles techniques.
"Bubba" is the next in the new line by T.C. of MWS. This is the preliminary, and not the complete first  paint job but we like it so much here it is:

I will be posting updates to this design and the next in the series (which I'm excited to say he is almost finished with the sculpt), with the ties and full paint jobs as well as sculpt teasers for the first AlterEgo piece.
