Prompt: May - Jar Jar Binks Team: Running with Scissors Project Name: Masks for Donation Project Link:Free Masks! (You can have one too!) Brief Description: Just a few of the masks my mother and I have made recently, displayed by Maccha the sea turtle (she is not wearing hers correctly, however). These masks are floppy when you’re not wearing them (hence Jar Jar!). Project Photo(s):
Also, I am removing my prize of two masks from the Nerd raffle, because I am now offering masks for free to anyone who wants some! I will also mail them to you for free! If you do want to pay something, please make a donation to your local food bank instead. These masks are cotton, two layers, with no nose wire and no filter pocket. They have around-the-ear elastic, and are machine washable. I only have adult sizes, men’s and women’s (I am a woman but wear men’s size because I have a large head). If you want any for yourself or loved ones, or extras for laundry day or variety, please send me a message!
