Allergy Face Mask by ~Attackfish on deviantART


Not only was the mask I talked about in my previous entry ugly, it was really uncomfortable.  It had a seem right under my chin that rubbed all the skin off, and the elastic irritated some old scar tissue of mine behind my ears. So I bought a bundle of cotton fabric, nylon thread, and some cheap beads, and made this instead. It holds the same carbon filter as the mask I bought, and I cannibalized pieces of that mask, such as the metal nose piece and the buckles for the ear straps, for this one.

I'd like to thank [livejournal.com profile] penguin_attie for suggesting I make my own mask. It's the perfect solution. I didn't like the idea of hiding my assistive equipment for a number of ideological reasons, but the other mask was ugly, and kind of frightening (and uncomfortable) so now I still have my visible assistive device, and it gets to be pretty too.
