There are so many beads and masks in New Orleans that it was hard to choose. I did finally get one to bring home. :0)
Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. 
MM started on Sept 29, 2008 – THANX to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!

I’ve made some errors in linking up. Could you kindly delete No 10 and 11? My apologies.
Carletta said,
Beautiful! I love it!
I’ve never been to New Orleans and this is much more ornate that I would expect one to be. A pleasant surprise. I think I’d have a hard time choosing one to bring home. I would certainly want one.

Impressive mask. I bought one while in New Orleans a few years ago, but mine wasn’t nearly as pretty as this one. Somehow it was broken during my last move.
Sweepy said,
Woof, Lisa, I should have one! Does it have doggy sizes?
Sara Chapman in Seattle, USA said,
An unusual and beautiful one, Lisa. Good choice. I hate when there are just so many great ones to choose from that it’s hard to choose. Not the worst problem to have, I guess.

nice mask. I have a similar one but made like a cat. I bought mine in Venice. There too, it was hard to choose because there were thousends of them.
Have a great week.

They are gorgeous… love that last shot, especially. Thanks for hosting! I linked b/c I shot my photo in macro, though it was not close-up! This is one of my favorite lenses… 70-200mm 1.8 macro. It’s fast and I can shoot from car!
Have a happy Monday!

Beautiful mask. Don’t they have the most interesting stuff in New Orleans? I picked up voodoo dolls for everyone when we were there.
Evelyn said,
Gorgeous piece. I love the patterns on the face.
I though it was from Venice. When I was in Venice, I loved the masks, but they were too huge to bring home.
