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…

You can find this year’s mask in my shop: here
I like the rat and the elephant very much.
