How do you wear a mask?

Karen Barbé | Textile designer | Embroidered mask

Karen Barbé | Textile designer | Wrong side - embroidered mask

This is my submission for Mr Spoqui's recycled masks contest. I'm not sure if this is what they expected but... here it is: cross-stitch embroidery on hand-punched cardboard from used boxes. I also made a hat. I was thinking of this one (I love the whole outfit, I think I should get a real hat and dress like that.)
