The cabin stewards on our cruises used to make similar animals from towels. Nice touch.
As for the weeds.......
Put the woad on, earplugs to stifle the screams of the weeds, heavy rubber gloves, wellies.
Die you buggers, die.

I did have other clothes on, by the way, not just wellies, gloves and woad.
