I don’t know what it is about costumes and masks that get my imagination going! Emili has brought this rooster mask to life (after much complaining about having to model it); from this costume I’ve thought to make angry birds, a punk mohawk headpiece, a gladiator helmet and an owl mask-alas, there’s just not enough time.

This mask and pose make Elli look like a young celebrity elephant posing for a photo shoot in Elephants Today.

  The Rat Masks were made as an ode to my girls’ pet rats: Bibbl and Harry. Check out the fimo teeth!

And last but not least, the very pink lounge singer, the elegant Ms. Flamingo…
