Not everyone can wear this. It is very small. Just a scrap of crochet that barely covers anything. But what boldness it portrays in its smallness. It sort of wants to shout out "Look at me!" and who could resist looking? That must be the appeal, the attention grabbing, I am the center of the universe look and feel of having this suit.

The Band
On the right, is Mitzi wearing her green witch costume. I used a sheer black spiderweb over the green satin.
The bear on the surfboard, behind Mitzi, is wearing a killer bee swarm on a tulle head piece. If that don't keep you up at night, I'm not sure what will.
On your left is Dook, wearing his pirate costume, complete with dreadlock wig and red skull bandana. His pants were made with old king-size flannel pillow cases. Pretty green of me, eh?
The making of bat wings
Here I am using a rotary cutter and the plastic guide to cut perfect triangles from black felt.
I saved all the little triangles to use as felt noses when I make amigarumi or teddybears. I'm sure I must have a year's supply now. LOL
Bat wings?
The little yellow guy is wearing bat wings made by me. That was a middle of the night project, in case you're wondering. But my inspiration came from a picture in a magazine.
Billy Bob in prison overalls
One animatronic costume I've been working on the past month is Billy Bob's prison overalls. This bear has a 90 inch waist.

It's a dreadlock wig!
All this needs now is a head to go on, and a red bandana wrapped around it.
And its on to the next project........
