By Northeastern, October 2008I used the tiny blossoms from these bushes as the main section of the mask I made for my work's anniversary party, which was a semi-formal masquerade this year. I made the mask from a plastered gauze material which I molded to my face. I then painted it, drilled holes in the sides to put in ribbon ties, and used a glue gun to cover it in dried leaves, flowers and twigs. These particular tiny flowers made up a large diagonal which started at the top on one side, surrounded one eye, crossed my nose, and filled in underneath the other eye. They took a long time to glue, one blossom at a time, but I was really happy with the result. I will try to post a picture of the mask later.
