Each mask created by Deramis Creations is handcrafted and unique. Some variations in texture and some material 'flaws' are to be expected as part of the process. If treated nicely, your mask should hold up well for years to come. The surface is painted with acrylics and may chip or scratch if you are not careful. But for the most part, I have found that the mask itself is fairly durable (as I have dropped some of my own, and after freaking out, found that it was unharmed). A little rain should not hurt your mask, but please do not dunk it under water or go swimming in it. Your mask was made by using a standard size face mold and sculpting clay around it to achieve different shapes and textures over the positive mold. Therefore, they are one size fits all. Each mask will fit each person differently. I have done my best to have different size people wear them to find the best level of comfort, as I am assuming that most people will want to wear their masks. However, they can also be hung on the wall or on a wig stand for display. Repairs: Many of the trials and tribulations your mask may experience should simply be chalked up to the life of the peice and regarded as characteristics aquired over time. Other wounds and problems can be easily fixed, especially the loss of a cord or the delamination of glued parts. If it is convenient for you to catch me at one of the events I vend through, I'll be glad to examine and hopefully resolve the problem. Otherwise, email me through the contact page and we'll see what can be done. Most repairs are done at no charge, while others- especially if determined to be the result of neglect or abuse- are charged accordingly. For questions or comments regarding the care of your mask, custom designs, or some of my other fantasy products, please email me through the contact page.
