Gas Masks.
It came up as a solution to the flu that seems to be sweeping continents right now, wear gas masks to filter the air. Then I read where atheletes want to wear them or something like them, air pollution masks, while competing in the Olympics in Beijing this summer because of how bad the air is over there. So when I ran across this while perusing Craft Magazine’s blog, costumecon Proboscian sippy mask, made by sculptor Jennifer Maestre known for her pencil sculptures, I knew I’d discovered something.
According to Jennifer:
“This mosquito-isk (ick) mask is made of coiled, sewn, polyester horsehair braid.
One cool thing about this mask- it has a drinking tube up the proboscis. Nothing stinks more than having to remove your face each time you’d like a sip of something tasty at a party! Plus, it looks wicked pissah, watching red wine run up the tube.”
Check her site to see more variations on the mask….especially the one that shows how it glows in the dark.
