Jennifer “Tiger” Torre-Oatis works out of her home in Baltimore, Maryland, and has been
making hand-molded, hand-painted leather masks since 1996. Besides the masks, there are other leather goods to be seen here, such as pouches, codpieces, and costume & fantasy leather gear. Please have a look !
In case you are wondering why you need to own a leather mask,
or what on earth you'll do with a leather mask,
consider the many varied things masks can be used for...
A wardrobe piece to be worn for Halloween celebrations, masquerade balls, costume contests and parties. A lovely accessory to wear at your favorite club, or for a momentous occasion. A distinct item of garb for Renaissance Faires or SCA events. A costume piece for stage plays, drama classes, and theatre departments. A unique fashion statement.
And last, but certainly not least, masks are beautiful pieces of art to hang upon your wall and admire when you are not wearing them.
Leather Masks & Crowns
Each leather mask comes with a guarantee and is a signed and dated piece of truly wearable art. They are ready to be worn or displayed, and usually range in price from $40 to $160. Tiger can custom fit masks to the face of the wearer, and work under and over glasses. Click on any of the categories below for more information and pictures.
Over the last decade, Tiger has designed pouches & cases; knife sheaths & codpieces; bracers & armbands; cuffs, collars, and a variety of fantasy leather gear. To see some pictures and get more information on both ready made items and custom work, click on the links below. Most of Tiger’s work in these areas is custom, piece by piece for the individual.
The newly built Tiger Torre Art booth is coming along, and we are preparing for opening day, August 23, 2008. Check here and the Calendar Page for updates.
Due to the increased costs of leather, supplies and shipping, the prices of some masks
and crowns have risen as well. Most have only increased by $5, however !
