Design by Marcy LaKind

"The mask I designed was signed by Florence Henderson, America's favorite TV mom. I did research and found that she was born on Valentine's Day and early in her career did many commercials for food products. There are traces of her on the mask from the hearts to the grid (Brady Bunch opening), to the quote about coffee cake. I also incorporated some buttons form my grandmother's sewing box and a palette that felt cheerful and optimistic just as Florence Henderson always is."
