This is one of 16 lions I’ve been creating for a primary school performance. It’s the ‘Scar’ headdress pattern from the Lion King pattern set. I adjusted it so it will be worn on the chest/stomach, and the jaw can move to make them roar!!

Remarkable!
What a great lion! I love the way you used the yarn and raffia together for the mane – and those big teeth and the opening jaw are amazing. I hope you’ll let us know how you got that realistic texture in the tongue, too! With masks like that, the school’s performance is sure to be a huge success. 🙂
Oh yeah, the inside mouth I forgot to mention!! I made the teeth (2 top & 2 bottom in each lion) out of air dry clay and made some attachment spots by making tiny tubes to glue them into. Then, the rest of the mouth is actually a photo of a lions mouth printed out and attached inside at the top and bottom only to allow it to curve around, open and close with the movement of the jaw. It looks really effective, I was quite impressed with it actually!
