Full Bloom Reusable Washable Applique And Embroidered Face mask

The full bloom reusable and washable applique and embroidered cloth facemask is an impressive ornate statement piece of safety wear characterised by exceptional artistry and detail.

This style exudes tonnes of vibrancy and life, boasting a fantastic colour combination and whimsical charm that blooms with grace as it thrives and grows within the textile art.

Inspired by nature, this design is a stunning outcome from my daily photography journaling while on lockdown. Due to COVID-19, I make sure I capture the beautiful flowers' growth on my camera while on my early morning meditational walks with limited outing and restriction.

These time-lapsed photographic series led to the intense textile design processes and experimentations, resulting in the fusion of upcycled antiqued clothing and multiple pieces of cotton and silk textile leftovers embroidered, appliqued, and free-motion stitched using the sewing machine. This striking combination fused with the richness of the gold shimmering trimming and lace takes the artistry to a new level

This mask is lined with a velvet material so that it won't cause any irritation, making it very breathable and comfortable to wear.

This mask is not N95, or FDA rated; it is designed explicitly as preventative safety wear to shield your face, mouth, and nose. The wearing of a face mask such as this could still reduce the transmissibility of viral particles by a small but significant amount, enough to make a difference to you and others.

This elaborate face covering will add an elegant, versatility and feel to any look.
