I have been so busy, I've totally neglected blogging. Halloween is 11 days away (with only two days off for me, and on both of my weekend days coming up, I have appointments) and I am starting to zero in on finishing the jazz bat as time runs out. I had to abandon the Pizza Rat costume- I just didn't have time, and wanted to spend the money it would take on embellishments for the bat costume.

Today, I finished the basic parts of the hat and cape, leaving only detail work left. It's been a bear trying to gather materials semi-last minute. I thought I'd be able to go to goodwill and find a giant stretch velvet dress to use as hat and belt material, seeing as I don't think I've ever set foot in a goodwill without seeing a giant stretch velvet dress, but they had nothing. Not even the giant stretch velvet pants I also always see. I ended up having to get a smaller skirt (I scoured the store and only found two things that were stretch velvet, and one didn't have a price tag), so I'm unable to make the belt the way I originally planned. It also seems that no one within reasonable busing distance carries regular silver sequins. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE.
Those costume ideas are just perfect, but i think I would go with that last one, with the crazy collar moment going on. Can't wait to see what you're going to be yourself!
ReplyDeleteI do love that collar with the matching kooky cuffs!
