The Unicorn Dog Mask by Hiroko Fukatsu is Inspired by Year of the Horse
Meghan Young — March 25, 2014 — Lifestyle
Halloween may be a ways away, but that doesn't mean people can't start planning ahead now; in fact, such forethought may be impossible to avoid once a pet owner has stumbled upon the Unicorn Dog Mask. As its apt name suggests, it is a mask made to resemble the profile of a unicorn. From the golden horn to the thick main and even white coloring, the Unicorn Dog Mask is as playful disguise as any.
Created by Hiroko Fukatsu, a crafter in Tokyo, Japan, the Unicorn Dog Mask was inspired by the fact that it is currently the year of the horse. Although taking it to a mythical level, her adorable dog does sport some horse-like features when this mask on. It is entirely knitted save for some bedazzled jewels on the nose.
