Mask Information ~ Gift Certificates ~ Ordering & Payment

Each leather mask made by Tiger is hand-molded vegetable tanned leather; dyed, sealed, painted, and finished to a semi- or high- gloss shine. Acrylic paints and sealers are used.

Tiger makes both patterned pieces, meaning a repeatable pattern she has designed; and unpatterned pieces, meaning completely free form and flowing out of the shape of the leather itself. The patterned masks are
still unique from piece to piece, depending on the leather, finish, and exact details. Most patterned pieces can be customized.

The masks are signed and dated with the year on the inside of the mask by Tiger. There are also the numbered series of Jnani & Prachika masks.

The masks, unless noted or ordered otherwise, are held on by black corded elastic. The elastic knots on the front of each are finished to match the mask, and blend in nicely.

The elastics are guaranteed. If they should become brittle, stretched, or unattached, Tiger will replace them, and paint the new elastic to match the mask. Other repairs on your mask, should the finish become damaged, can be handled on a case by case basis.

The masks are rather enduring, and somewhat malleable; they can be slightly altered to improve fit. The more they are worn, the more comfortable they become.

Tiger CAN work under and over GLASSES. Never say again that you can’t wear masks because of your glasses. Many of the pre-made masks can be fitted for wearing glasses over them, and custom design can ensure your glasses and mask will work together well.

Custom orders are accepted, as Tiger loves to make new ideas come to life. However, there are some things Tiger doesn't make, such as stitched garment leather masks.

Though the masks are generally one "size" fits all, custom fittings ensure a comfortable fit, as well as a feeling of participation in the final product. Custom fitting must be done in person, and takes anywhere
from 1-2 hours, depending on the details of the mask.


Care: Display or store your mask in a dry place; excess moisture could be harmful. Mask hangers are available in silver and brass, at $2 each, for display of your mask on the wall. We highly recommend that
you hang your mask with a hanger, and not by its elastics.

Cleaning: Carefully wipe your piece with a slightly damp cloth and let air dry completely. You can also use a soft bristle brush to brush away dust in the nooks and crannies if needed !


Gift Certificates:
Gift Certificates are available in any amount over $10. Payment for Gift Certificates is like any other order. Gift Certificates will Expire in ONE YEAR. They are numbered, individually signed by Tiger,
and can be mailed via USPS to you or your recipient.

To Order a Gift Certificate, Tiger will need the following information: Amount it is to be made out in, who it is to be made out for, address to send it to & payment information.


Ordering:
All orders MUST be placed by e-mailing Tiger  first. As much as she loves to receive money, you should make sure you can order the item before you send payment !

To place an order, please e-mail Tiger with the name of the piece(s) you are interested in. If the piece is in stock, it can ship quickly. If not, one can usually be made to order.

Custom orders are certainly welcome - pricing tends to be similar to the in stock pieces. If you have questions about customizing a piece, just ask the artist !


Payment:
At the MD Renaissance Faire, and certain other shows, we will accept Cash and Visa, Mastercard and Discover. Personal checks with ID may be accepted on a case by case basis.

For online orders, PayPal, money orders, and Personal Check are accepted. You can pay with your credit card or bank account securely with PayPal.

All payments must clear before shipping will occur. For custom design orders, generally, half of the payment is required up front and then the balance is due before shipment.

Shipping is usually handled USPS. Other means can be arranged. I use recycled materials for shipping, like shredded paper and recycled boxes, whenever possible.


Artist's Statement : I *am* Tiger Torre Art.  I am the mask maker, web designer, PR department,
shipping manager, and proprietor. With the exception of good friends who help me at conventions and faires, I'm the sales lady.
I am the only person reading the e-mails, taking, filling, and shipping orders. While I have awesome apprentices who help with
cutting and carving leather, I am the one who molds the masks, paints and hand finishes every single piece that bears my name.
I don't have backers or rich patrons. I have no advertising budget.  With this in mind, I thank you for your business.
I thank you for treating me with respect and paying me in a timely fashion. And most of all, I thank you in advance
for telling people about Tiger Torre Art. Word of mouth promotion from happy customers is my best asset.
The more sales I have, the further away from being a starving artist I am. 
(& the more biscuits the dog can have. Seriously, folks, you help feed my pets !)
