I received the mask I ordered today. It took only 4 days to arrive to Canada! I am so happy with it. I love to just keep looking at it, I'm not sure why, but from the moment I saw it in the picture, this has been the effect it's had on me. :-) There is something very visually satisfying in its forms. I am even more happy that I was finally able to actually purchase something from an artist who I've loaned to. This very concrete way I can help support an artist or artisan is really important to me, and unfortunately, this is not possible on some other micro-loan sites. At any rate, I am very, very happy with my mask, my 'protector'!
