If you are speaking of a specific event, I probably can't be of much
help there. However, if you are asking about masque balls in general
and in the making of masks, perhaps these files in the PERFORMANCE
ARTS section of the Florilegium might be of use:
Mask-Making-art (16K) 12/26/00 "Mask Making 101 - A History of
Masks and
Instructions..." by Lady Meliora Leuedai
de Ardescote
masks-msg (61K) 9/26/04 Theatrical masks. Period and modern.
masks-mumming-lnks (12K) 2/15/04 Web links to medieval masks,
mumming and
Masques by Dame Aoife Finn of
Ynos Mon.
masque-msg (6K) 5/22/08 A dramatic art of poetry, music
and dance.
