Thanks for your tips.
I glued mat strips to the strainer's edges, painted the mat strips edges and screw faces, and added the ribbon as a border to finish off the mounting board. I built stand-offs out of black foam and matching mat board to get the masks to sit how I wanted and tied off the masks straps behind the mounting board. I then sealed the back off with foam and agressive linen tape.
I have to go back in and adjust the mask with the feathers to face up a little more and clean the inside of the acrylic better. Yahooo! :rolleyes:

See my new Cyro labels?
Don't ask, I didn't get paid enough. But, what the heck, it was my first.
16"x20"x8" FF Cyro acrylic with standard mitered butt welds, from Smallcorp. $260 - not enough!

Masks look like they are straight out of "Eyes Wide Shut" with Kidmann and Cruse!

Think I should have put eyeballs in them?
