You all have been giving me grief about not making it out to Pennsic War recently.  Now is your chance to put your silver where your mouth is!

As seen in the 25 fun Factoids About Mab post, “Mab’s battery cell will operate indefinitely so long as sufficient amounts of coffee, beer, and cigarettes are provided.”  Help contribute to the Caffine levels, and enable her to keep going & going (like that bunny rabbit)

In an attempt to recreate my own Venetian mask, I painted this.  It’s shaped plastic, not paper mache’.  I wore it once for a show.  As cool as it is, I am going to let this one go, as I painted another, BETTER one (that’s ~not~ for sale!) 

More pictures are available.

I had always wanted my own Venetian mask.  Searching online, I discovered they were around serveral hundred dollars.  Not so much on the Sideshow Budget.  So in typical DYI fashion, I decided to make my own.

This was the first one I made.

Hand painted Faux-Venetian style mask.  The surface has a lovely crackle effect.  I liked the idea of a mask painted on a mask.

Genuine sideshow artifact!
Actual Broken Glass that was walked upon by Mab, Just Mab

I have been a glass walker for quite a few years. And since I smash between one and three bottles every show, what started as a modest pile of broken glass has grown to more glass than I can carry around!

Now is your opportunity! You can own your very own piece of sideshow history! I can personally guarantee that this glass was seen on stage, breaking beneath my tender feet. You can see the broken shards UP CLOSE! If you ever wondered if I treat the glass I walk on, or if it is made of sugar, this is your chance to see what it really looks like! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is REAL GLASS!

I am offering a limited number of these. Right now, I only have 10! Each one is signed and numbered!

Each one comes complete with a card depicting Mab (me!) walking on the offered glass.

This would be a great edition to any collection! Great conversation started! You too can have a real sideshow exhibit in your home!

at only $20 it’s a hell of a bargain!
shipping & handling $10

GET YOURS NOW! I do not know when I will be offering this again!

Pre-sale is closed!
GET TICKETS AT THE DOOR!

We are coming to Richmond, VA!  It’s a NYE EVE show!  that way, you can get a great show and still go to the NYE parties!  Because we care. ^_^
