(*) Ballet in one act with choreography by Roland Petit, libretto by Jean Anouilh, scenery & costume design (including the ballet's cat masks) by Leonor Fini. It tells the story of a musician who falls in love with his beautiful cat Agathe, who has assumed semi-human form. Agathe tries to be faithful to her human lover but is lured away by the sound of tomcats and the call of freedom. She leaps off the rooftops and the musician falls to his death as he tries to grab hold of her. She falls after him and they are united in death. | src The Oxford Dictionary of Dance

WHAT DID I USE TO CREATE MY MASK??
Hi!!! Tysm ♡♡♡ as an artist, i'm never gatekeeping anything, i know the struggle of trying to create a canine mask/longer muzzle.
About the mask: I'm from Brazil and i got this mask on a local halloween store, i searched for it online since many people asked where it was from and apparently it's from a local small business, i found it on a very trustworthy online shop and i /think/ it can be sent abroad.
It's made from thin white plastic, not sure how it would survive a long flight tho :O now, believe it or not, the base used to look like this.

Now, onwards, do you know the popular cat masks made out of plastic?
The truth is, if you can find /any/ werewolf/dog/wolf/creature mask with this type of plastic base you can felt it and add fur or maybe cut it all up and customise! (Like i did!)
Fr look at how i got this mask and how it looks now!!
You gotta dig these halloween stores and ignore the wonky painting and focus on the shape!!! Creativity is your friend and it can be sooo much easier than trying to build a muzzle on 👀👀👀

Trying to come up with some designs for my cat mask that don't require a lot of altering, and these are the three I like the most. Can't decide which I like best though.
