Happier Notes- Halloween
On a lighter note- I'm *really* making progress on my costume^^
I decided the greaves made it too hard to move, so that's not too much wasted- they were fun to make, just a pain to wear under a skirt. I boiled and drilled holes in a bunch of chicken (and some pork rib) bones, and some of them are on my belt (along with a little Crayola-clay Venus-figure painted like stone) and some are on a necklace^^ I finished the little short bodice, which was a little too loose to be completely self-supporting but holds nicely with the addition of some cross-the-back shoulder straps.
I finally figured out the right way to fit my Dental Distortion Razorbacks, so now I've got some good yellow tusks to go with my green skin and grumpy brow^^ Now I just need to get my damn wig (wool yarn in pantyhose) to stay in place long enough to style it up before Saturday.
I think this'll work out nicely^^ I may improve it some for ACen or whatever Event-With-Costumes I can afford to attend next, but it should be worth the effort of turning up to my friend's party and parade on Saturday.
