YETI-Abominable Snowman Mask Costume Theatre Festivals Art OOAK

I received the most beautiful fleece from my fibre friend Laura, so I put out a contest on my fb page to see who could come up with the best mask idea for it.  There were so many great ideas, and I plan on making most of them eventually, but Yeti was the winner.  I think he turned out great.  The beautiful snowy view from my window sure helped me get inspired to bring him to life.

Axolotl Oversize Mask Costume Festival theatre halloween

This was the strangest request I have had so far...an Axolotl creature.  I had to look it up.  This is an oversize mask, so the nostrils are actually the eye holes. I made 2 versions, 1 silly, and one serious.  My friend opted for the realistic version.  She looks fabulous in the mask!  I had so much fun making it.
