In NYC it is now mandated that we wear masks in public.
Using any material or method, DEPICT or CREATE a MASK!
Here is my piece.

That picture is of me in a mask from Sleep No More.
Knitted quarantine mask - size 9 bamboo needles with cotton/acrylic blend yarn remainders (translates to: whatever was at the bottom on the knitting basket - all yarn stores are closed!) twisted together. Knitted in stockinette stitch. "Handles" are 4 stitch i-cord knitted with size 6 double pointed needles (also bamboo). Lined with paper towel - didn't think inhaling yarn fibers was wise.
Do you have process photos. Or perhaps a photo of the mask flat? It would be interesting to see.
@Meridith McNeal

Jane, the juxtaposition of the mask to the quilt is quite poignant.

Our friend Artist Laura McCallum, who is at home recovering from this virus, sent a photo of her mask. She has it on hand for sculpture projects and will be putting it to use once she’s well enough to go out side.
Laura, it was great to talk with you yesterday! Thank you for sending a picture of your mask for ART YARD CREATE. 💖
