Metropolis

I've finished the "steampunk" mask today, realizing in the process that it is not steampunk at all.

It's got all kinds of gears and details on it, but I feel it's not organized enough for steampunk, but rather an abstract piece.


There are parts of an old Soviet alarm clock and some things taken from computer motherboards (generously donated by Maestro).


The turquoise was added at the last moment. I never intended to have it here, but the mask somehow seemed incomplete without this last touch. I'm addicted to turquoise :)


The name also came all of a sudden - when I looked at the finished piece I just realized it reminded me of the robot from "Metropolis". Metropolis it is, then.
