Vintage HANDMADE Mardi Gras Decoration Corsage Masks Mask Fleur de Lis Tinsel - $60 - (Poplarville, MS)

Here we have a pretty Mardi Gras corsage to wear or decorate your seasonal tree. It's thick and measures 6 inches tall by 5 1/4 inches wide. In the foreground is a brass mask decorated with a purple tulle butterfly and tinsel stems. Close by is a Fleur de lis pin (signed Coro on back). To the left of the mask is a pretty little woman with silver hair and wood head. Lovely expression. She holds a silver glitter mask and wears purple Mardi Gras beads. I ADDED a gold foil hat with purple and green tinsel and a yellow feather. The feather is wispy and didn't photograph well but if you look closely you will see it. The body of this corsage is packed with glass balls of varying sizes in shades of purple, gold, and green. Some of the balls are iridescent purple and green. There is a tiny gold indent. There is a pretty gold bell shape ornament as well. Tucked in there are lots of tinsel stems of gold, purple, and green, and purple chenille stems tipped with green mercury glass. I have also included tufts of purple netting. I ADDED two butterflies to the netting: a green tulle butterfly with glitter and another purple tulle butterfly with pearls. The masks on this corsage are not vintage, but I have had them in my stock for about 15 years. The Mardi Gras beads around the little lady's neck are plastic and not vintage. Everything else is vintage. The back of the corsage is made of two gold foil corsage leaves, silver on back, and I made the bow from lovely purple rayon tinsel ribbon. I wrapped the stem in green floral tape and included a new safety clasp. My home is smoke free. Some of our family members have four legs.
