Drinking Mask Inspiration

 A mask is laid out on a wooden floor. It is made of beige cotton fabric with an autumn, multicolor leaf print. In the middle, there is a transparent, plastic flap surrounding the lips. The mask also has an additional piece of fabric to cover the chin. There are four pieces of the same fabric that extend from the mask’s edges as a means of tying it around the head.
