About Make a "Sunny Day" Mask

Make Your Own Sunny Day Mask



Contest ends soon - enter by December 15th!

Sunny Day is the new album of songs by Elizabeth Mitchell. There are songs about the Sun, the Moon, rabbits, trains, and elephants. On the cover of the album, two girls are wearing homemade masks.

Masks are fun, and not just for Halloween! You can wear a mask to pretend to be a bird, space explorer, an imaginary creature, or even the President!

You can make your own Sunny Day mask! When you’re done, share a photo of your mask on the Sunny Day Flickr Group.

So let’s get started!!! Just follow these four steps:



Step One:
Click here to download an easy mask you can make and decorate yourself. Just print it out and follow the instructions. You’ll need some basic supplies like scissors, scotch tape, and crayons or markers. Here are some ideas for other masks too. Be creative!





Step Two:
Take a digital photo of your mask and submit it to the Sunny Day Flickr Group. On the Sunny Day Flickr Group, you can see masks that other people have made. Just be sure to follow the Flickr rules when submitting your photo.

* Make as many masks as you like, but please only submit a photo of your favorite.
* When you submit your photo, write a caption about what inspired your creation!
* Make sure you like the picture, as it may be seen by lots of people! We may post it to the general Flickr Group, the Smithsonian Folkways Facebook page, and elsewhere.

Step Three:
Click here to enter the Sunny Day Mask Contest!

Three randomly selected winners will win an original mask designed and created by Storey Littleton (Elizabeth Mitchell's daughter and band member), an autographed Sunny Day CD, and an autographed Sunny Day poster.

10 randomly selected winners will win an autographed Sunny Day CD and Sunny Day poster.






Step Four:

Wear your mask to an upcoming Elizabeth Mitchell concert, bring a camera, and get your picture taken with Elizabeth Mitchell and family (and then upload that to Flickr too!).

Sunny Day will be released October 5th, 2010 by Smithsonian Folkways, the non-profit record label of the National Museum.
