Topiaries in shade?

Hi all! I was wondering if you could recommend a shade-tolerant plant that can be sheared into topiary shapes. I was thinking it would be fun to make some topiary animals for my daughters' play area in the garden, such as rabbits and ducks. I'll probably have them in containers. They'll need to grow in pretty heavy shade -- under a dense deciduous tree canopy. My only thought has been to train ivy over a wire form.

Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!
