Mardi Gras needlepoint patterns

A carnival half-mask, facing front, mirrored in outline: a figure-eight eye mask with a jewel on the brow and a spray of feathers.

It has two eye holes, a nose piece and upswept corners. The mask is drawn in several styles; the classic one is shaded, so it does not mirror exactly. All are four inches square on 18 mesh and can be made as a round ornament. The feathers ask for a steady count; some are marked advanced, so check the level on the page.
