#43 My Daughter Is Obsessed With Opossums, So I Made This For Her Last Halloween
My daughter has been obsessed with opossums for years, and I thought I’d try making her a cool costume of her favorite marsupial! It was impossible to find a decent mask, so I had to make my own. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! Also made a posable tail but you can’t really see it in these photos.
