If you follow the collective costume rendering blog A Sketch A Day, you've already seen my series of renderings of Commedia dell'Arte mask designs in oil pastel. (If not, you can see them all here, and read about the conception process and inspirations, if you wish.)
Essentially, one of my summer projects is the design and creation of a set of six stock-character Commedia masks, an endeavor in which i will be assisted by two of my graduate students with crafts emphasis in their field of study. I chronicled the sketching over in that blog for obvious topical reasons, and now that we're embarking on the sculpting process, i'm going to document that here on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
labricoleuse. Once the designs are confirmed, I'll sculpt them from polymer clay in 1/3-scale as maquettes; then my students and i will each take two maquettes and scale them up to full size matrix sculptures, which we'll use to create the masks themselves.
There are at present a collection of twelve sketches, which we will narrow to the final six. I thought it'd be fun to run a poll and see which six might be "audience favorites", so here we go!
The gist is, below you will find twelve images, each labeled with a number and name in a caption underneath. Beneath that is a tickybox poll, in which you may select your favorites. You can pick fewer than six if you like. Technically, you can choose as many as you like, but try to limit yourself to six or fewer, for the sake of the poll. I think that only LiveJournal accountholders can vote in their polls, so if you are a non-LJ reader and find you can't submit your choices through the poll code, I invite you to comment with the names/numbers of your favorites.
