Grin, grimace and squeak: gothic vine mask

Grin, grimace, & squeak!.

Grin, grimace & squeak! Is an accessories company with a difference, creating gorgeous gothic, theatrical, & fantasy masquerade masks to adorn. Created by Karen & Rich on the Cornish coast, from a mutual love of all things theatrical. Costume was the obvious choice for their business venture having created party masks previously, the business then spun from there.


Grin, grimace & squeak! create intricately detailed masks; loops, uv tendrils, oodles of beads & dainty ribbons, lovingly decorate each unique mask. Made from enamelled wire using plenty of décor to adorn each item. With a collection of the fae, gothic, cyber, and carnivalé amongst their current range of masks.


With such intricate beading work, each piece is hand crafted and individually made. You can see from the highly detailed bead work on each mask just how much care and attention goes into each item. Each mask is a striking piece of wearable art that easily stands out in a crowd, so you really will be spoilt for

choice!


Grin, grimace & squeak! Also offer a hire service for their masks so you can can change your look at every ball & event you attend! As well as offering a custom design service for those special occasions.


As for the name? In true artistic fashion, they have demons as well (drawn ones) and when it was put forward that they use some of their names, it came out sounding like a firm of solicitors (abet quite not as demonicly evil as the folks at Wolfram & Hart we'd imagine!). This was greeted with a chorus of grins, grimaces and squeaks from the other realm....and it stuck. It's worked well for them - people remember it because it makes them smile and it fits the things they make too.
