This face mask was created by a UK-based artisan leatherworker James of Pirate’s Leatherworks. After he shared the photo of his Alien-inspired face covering, many people have been asking if he’s putting it up for sale. Pirate’s Leatherworks has an Etsy shop where they sell traditional handmade leather products. Unfortunately, the viral face mask is not listed on the shop just yet.
People are impressed with the incredible details on the face mask. It features the alien monster’s multiple limbs grasping on the wearer’s face, its tail wrapping around the wearer’s neck, as well as its breathing flaps right below the wearer’s chin. Of course, it is entirely made from leather in brown finish to make it look close to the actual thing.
This Alien-Inspired Face Cover Is Made Entirely Of Leather
James revealed that the face mask was made from a pattern he found on Etsy. It is made up of almost 60 separate parts sewn together to create the awesome replica. It took him around 3 days to finish it. When asked when the Alien-inspired mask will be available on his Etsy shop, James said that his order book is currently full but it should be listed on the shop soon.
Check back to his Etsy shop regularly to see if the face mask is already up for sale. If you want to exercise your creativity and make your own then you can also get the pattern here just like James did.
