ABOUT

Welcome to Falconrose.

Our masques, hairpieces, and jewelry, are designed

and hand-crafted by artist Georgia Lambert,

noted for her work in oils, illustrations, and her

collector plate series, ANCIENT ELEMENTS.

Each fine leather piece is made one at a time, and

no two are ever alike.

Our story began at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire

in Southern California . A long time member of the

" Faire Folk", Georgia designed some animal masks for the
Falconer's parade. People liked them. People said

" Hey! You could sell these!"

Thus, Falconrose was born!

People always ask how our masks are made.

Here's the basic process.

Lambert starts with vegetable dyed, natural cowhide.

She designs and cuts a pattern, and does all the

staining and tooling. The piece is then soaked in

Magic Formula, and shaped by hand.

It is then baked at low temperature.

When the piece is dried and set, she follows

with a light touch of hand painted details,

(no spray paint or airbrush), and a sealing finish.

Finally, beads, bells, and ribbon are added,

as well as a suede lining on the larger pieces.

The beads and extra pieces are tied on as well

as glued, for extra durability.

Our pricing is dependant upon several factors.

First, the ammount of leather used. Then we consider

the ammount of staining, tooling,

layers, and hand painted details. All in all, the price

of each masque depends on how much

time and material it took to create it.

For wearing or display, your piece will give

you years of use. Do not get your piece wet!

It may be cleaned with a soft art brush to dust,

or wiped with a soft cloth moistened with a whisper

of lemon or mink oil. It is suggested that if you

wish to hang your masque, that it be supported

by two hooks on either side, rather than being hung

by the tied string. Over time, hanging by the masque

string can distort the shape by pulling the sides together.

If this happens, bend the piece gently back to

the original width with your fingers.

We thank you for your purchase, and hope

you enjoy your part in the growing family of

FALCONROSE
