Cheshire cat maskapades

So I’ve been invited to an Alice in wonderland garden party.  As a Brit I LOVE fancy dress, but it doesn’t happen often enough in Vancouver in my opinion. So i’m going all out.

My costume is in progress and there will be a post about that one it’s finished.  For now here’s the mask.

I used a plastic mask template for the base, covered it with the dark pink material, covered shoulder pads cut into ear shapes with more of the pink and stitched them on the top, glued a little light pink triangle nose on, then used a strip of the pink to create a loop from ear to eat that was attached to plain white fabric and all stitched together. Then I went mad with a black Sharpie pen.  Finito.
