Maggie the Part-time Cat and the Wise Woman Dancing MaskSeveral of the papier mache masks I now have displayed at the Redding California Public Library are meant to be "Dancing Masks"--not simple face masks or wall decorations.
These masks may be used in a series of folk dances in Redding--commemorating the changing seasons of the year.
The Wise Woman mask (above) is a character which will appear at every dance.
representing the eternal wisdom of the female--the "great mother" of mythology.
