Batik Face Masks by Cecilia

April 14, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

 

I made some batik face masks, three-lay­ers cot­ton, lined with flan­nel, with pock­ets for filter.

Peo­ple have asked if they can buy these and I’m mak­ing them avail­able as a fund rais­er for PALH (Philip­pine Amer­i­can Lit­er­ary House).

I have six right now (June 12). one size small (the blue sol­id with batik trim); the rest are size medi­um — $30 each and US ship­ping is $10.  I will pick up US ship­ping for orders of three.  Email me at cbrainard@aol.com and I can send you a pay­pal invoice.

I wash these in warm water and while they can tol­er­ate the dry­er, it is bet­ter to hang dry them.  I also run an iron over them to make the pleats more crisp although they look all right if unironed.

For fil­ters, I use cof­fee fil­ter with non­wo­ven gauze sand­wiched in between.

You can also change the loops so they tie in back of your head.  You will have to use your own cord or rib­bon.  In some cas­es, you use one long cord so the bot­tom cord is continuous.

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
