Insect fashion

Spending an evening exchanging scary stories with your closest friends, binging horror films that will make you sleep with the lights on for a week, or passing out candy to all of the adorable kids who dressed up as their favorite characters to go trick or treating?

I'm currently working on a crazy altered book, with a completely cheesy old book called "To Have and To Hold" by Mary Johnston as my starting point. It's an adventure/romance novel from the early 1900's. The pages are old and soft and easily cut and torn, with nice texture. I'm about halfway through altering it…

The image is a close-up of a woman wearing a strange mask. The mask is made of the exoskeleton of a large insect, and it covers her eyes, nose, and mouth.
