Why are you dressed like it's Halloween?

Costumes.
My making.
My life.

Halloween has *always* been a special time of year for me.   My parents had a huge hand in this when I was younger.  Always encouraging me to come up with a creative and scary costume for the highly anticipated night of trick-or-treating.  Here is a little taste of some things I've created in the past few years.

This is the first Halloween costume I've ever made.  The hat was given to me as a gift, but I made the black PVC cape with purple lining.  My favorite Disney villain has always been Maleficent from "Sleeping Beauty" so naturally this would be the first costume I would attempt to fabricate.




Not very scary, unless you view the "obsession" as frightening, another obsession of mine is the Japanese kimono and haori.  The rust kimono is made of silk and the black haori is made of brushed cotton.  There is one other haori I have made that I will have to add at a later date.





Medusa...  snake tilt hat, fingerless gloves and corset.





Little Bo Peep, killed all her sheep and didn't know where to hide them.  Apron, bloomers, sheep purse, embellishments on straw hat and blood effects.





Once I have a few more photos I will add them to this posting aw well.
