Halloween 2009- Par-O-Tweedles in Wonderland

WOW…. can’t believe it has been over a month since posting…. I guess I have been busy.  Saturday we won a couple of prizes for our creativity.  Here is how we spent Halloween 2009:
I build the tweedle bodies out of foam and hula hoops.  The shirt is just a Kwik Sew 2272, a shirt pattern  that [...]

Catch me if you can- this costume rocked!!

Here are some stills of the Flight Attendant costume I recently made and posted about here.  It is for a web commercial for Expedia… I don’t know much more about it except that I had a lot of fun doing it and would love more work like this    I guess if this goes [...]

Costume Showers currently predicted.

Wow, it has really been a while since my last post (sorry Mom).  I have been really busy with OPP (other people’s projects).  Usually I don’t post this stuff because, well, because it is their stuff, they payed for it, I just figure it is not mine to post.  Most of the time it is [...]

MacBeth at Magnuson Park Theater

So here is the reason that I have not blogged in over a month….
I have been eyeball- deep in eleven century Scottish dress.  The show will be brilliant, with awesome fight scenes, lot of blood (which is poison to my costumer ears), and a gaggle of witches.  Please come and see it!!!!

Halloween Costume countdown- Wrap Up

Halloween Costume countdown- three days to go!

This costume started with a mask that I friend brought me from Venice, Italy.  It was a blank Zanni mask (commedia del’ arte).  I already have a decorated Zanni mask that I brought home myself and the problem with wearing the for Halloween is that you are a mute… you have no mouth.  Now since [...]

Halloween Costume countdown- four days to go!!!!

Getting into the final stretch here.  Since we are in the insects vein I thought it appropriate to show you this butterfly even though I did not make it.

Again this girl TOTALLY amazes me with her creativity and ideas.  She wants me to make her a peacock costume where all of the feathers SNAP up [...]

Halloween Costume Countdown- five days to go, SPOOKY!!

O.K. so not so spooky, I have finished the costume that I a being payed for, which will pay for MY Halloween costume.  It  is almost done as well, so is Dave’s costume.  All and all I feel like I am in good shape.  I am nervous to use Spirit Gum as I have only ever required other [...]

Halloween Costume countdown- five days to go

 
Since we did a hugely bankable cartoon yesterday I though we would do a hugely bankable comic today.  Bat Man and Robin.  This costume works best if the female is short- sorry I mean petite with short hair so that she look more like the the robin sidekick character.

I DID NOT make this set of costumes it was [...]
