Patchwork Plague Doctor Mask

I found the pattern via Facebook and decided I'd crazy-quilt mine. It's been coming along slowly, but now there is a contest at work for the most creative mask and I intend to win.

The only problem is that I wasn't sure how to do the lenses for the eyes. My dad is going to cut some for me with his lazer, and I'm going to tint them with some mirrored window tint, so that's all fine and dandy, but what about fixing them to the mask? The pattern provides pieces, but I don't care for how they are constructed. Then it hit me: Shisha embroidery!


It's awesome and I'm totally gonna do that for my lenses. They won't be detachable, but that's fine. I just won't put it through the dryer after a wash. This is definitely more of a costume piece anyway, and I plan to wear it with my apothecary costume when I finally get it finished.
