Evelyn Jacob “I made my own mask. I do lots of art using recycled Nespresso coffee pods, which have been cleaned and smashed down. www.pods-nespresso.com to see more of what I do.

Añalisa Siemsen-McQuaide: “These were special fancy dress masks for a social distancing version of The Met Gala we did with the neighbors (socially distancing). It was for our daughters to have something to work on to take their minds off of being 'stuck in the house' and have a reason to dress up and feel fancy. My daughter loves fashion, so she was disappointed not see the outfits at the Met Gala, so we decided to do our own home version. “
