Yesterday I came home after a miserable day at work and saw Liz Ohanesian’s article about the new X Japan video, which had a picture of the werewolf that I helped make - I hadn’t seen it since it was finished and it turned out great!!! IMMD :)

In only 3 days, Ralis and a small team made the actual mold, skin, teeth, eyes, and other details, I put the fur on him, another girl cut and styled the fur, and then Ralis put on the finishing touches. I can’t wait to see the video!

This weekend I worked on a pizza skirt for [tlr]’s project NVR-NDR! Here’s the concept art:
The actual skirt will be vegetarian though ::
delicious pizza toppings...
the beginnings of a pizza skirt, notice the plump crust
I buy stuffed animals at thrift stores to recycle their fur and stuffing...this raccoon already had disgusting, recycled stuffing! bonus :)

I made a costume for Emily of My Velcroe, for the Halloween show at HM157. It was actually really miraculous - I made it in only 3 days, with all recycled fabrics, and only one fitting the night before the show! This was the first time I had made high-waisted shorts, and I’m quite pleased with the results ::
Emily dancing with her Bear
She wanted a 1920’s-esque bathing suit and a jacket with a detachable cape. The cape was already removed by the time I got my camera on the right setting :( I had the striped fabric left over from the Absinthe Faerie show I helped do costumes on. Emily found the fabric for her jacket at a thrift store, it’s a really intricate knit of a bubbly pastel jungle. The jacket is lined with pinstripe fabric that was going to be thrown away at my work. One person’s trash, sucka!
I think she had killed the Bear at this point in the show
Oh yeah, her shirt has a bow tie too! And tails in the back :) So cute!
