Hi Jonni and community!
I made 2 of your masks–wolf and cow for a production of Into the Woods. I adapted them a bit, added fur to the wolf and eyelids & eyelashes to the cow that could blink. They were a huge hit, thank you. Now I am doing Peter Pan and need a full face/head mask for an old English sheepdog for Katie Nanna. I saw the pit bull, but that is not quite the same. Ideas on adapting?
Forever your admirer,

Hi Katherine. The pit bull has a wider muzzle than a sheepdog, but I’m not sure you could tell after the long fur is added. You can make the muzzle narrower by cutting it off, overlapping a seam or two, and then taping it back on between the eyes. You’d need a two scraps of cardboard to fill in the gaps at the outside. The biggest difference is the ears. The sheepdog’s ears are longer, rounded, and hang straight down. They look like they’re attached slightly lower on the head, too. You’d need to cut some new ears, and tape them on where you think they look best. Have fun! 🙂
