At my church we have a donkey that has become our VBS mascot. Every year we remake him to represent the current year’s VBS character. This year he became the “Roar” lion. I used Jonni’s excellent pattern and although it was my first attempt at paper mache (other than dabbling) I thought the results were wonderful. Jonni’s pattern was clear, precise, and written in a way that was not intimidating.
My son in law wants to hang the mask in his home now that VBS is finished. I think that is high praise!
The mane is especially great. What did you use to make it?
I used faux fur, most likely from Joann Fabric store.
I agree with your son, I would so hang that in my home! Nice job! So what will it be remade into for next year?
This year’s theme is Rocky Railroad. The donkey may end up being the conductor. It will be interesting to see how he looks with a human face underneath a conductor’s cap. In the past he’s been a moose, weird animal, and a kangaroo. Gotta have a little fun!
We would love to see how your donkey looks after you’ve changed him into a conductor! What a fun idea.
