Mint Designs

In response to the outbreak of bird flu in 2009 Mint Designs produced these protective masks from thermoplastic non woven fabric 'SMASH'. This material can be molded using a heat press, it is receptive to print and is a highly functional fabric.
I thought the masks certainly looked 'mysterious' and would maybe give the HN's some ideas.
