Finally getting around to posting pictures of my costume. Check them out!



Some basic info about the costume:

Body: Is made of Fake Fur from Mendels (the dark brown/green long fur) and some suede upholstery fabric (brown and tan). Most is hand sewn, except the big panels on the legs and shirt.

Clothes: Upholstery fabric with bead trim and some banner fabric for the belt. Three layers of skirt.

Feet: UGLY shoes from Payless, with plaster wrap hooves. The hooves are reinforced with epoxy putty, and sealed with Mod Podge. The feathering is on the legs and Velcro-ed to the feet.

Hands: Paper Clay nails, sealed with Mod Podge. I made the gloves. NOT fun.

Head: The antlers are real deer antlers. They are bolted to a leather strap reinforced with foam and more leather. The strap was boiled to make it hard, and the foam and second piece of leather is to keep the screws from digging into my skull. Its held on kinda like a hard hat. The mane is sew/glued to the leather and sewn into shape. The beads are on strings and sewn into the mane. I hope to post some videos of the costume as they make a lovely chimeing sound.

Mask: Hand tooled leather. Painted with leather dye and some acrylic.

Feel free to ask any questions..
