Starbucks Siren Costume

Don't want to read? Here's a 2-minute video instead! The concept for my 2023 Halloween costume was the Starbucks siren, as seen in their logo (although taking some artistic license to wear clothing from the waist up and not doing gymnastics, so we're not going for 100% accuracy). Image from  https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/starbucks-logo-evolution-tale-design-history-kaizen-tech-global My starting point was the leggings from my Amabie costume and a green bodice I got a million years ago (intending to make a Poison Ivy, although that has yet to happen). Phase 1: Bodice The first step was to add scales to the bodice to match the leggings as much as possible. I used my scan of the leggings from Amabie to make shapes to send to the Cricut to cut out of fabric. I wasn't convinced that sticky vinyl would stay put on the satin, so I ended up backing some polyster with fusable interfacing for durability and hand sewed it on. This was a beast of a project, but it was the best wa...

MYSTERY GIFT: Cats

I shaved my head for charity last year. For a small number of donors I offered thanks in the form of a mystery gift, built around a theme of their choosing. This isn't the first one I've started, but it's the first one I've actually finished. I was inspired by  Hari and Deepti 's light boxes and I'm just thrilled with how mine turned out.

Step by Step (including some trial and error) Hello pen tool, my old friend. Add some happy (stock vector) trees. Figure out some basics for layers. Add some detail.

Test cut several practice Jabberwocks (not by hand! I have a  Cricut .) and struggle w...

Horn Headband

Sometimes a set of horns is just what you need to pull an outfit together. In this case, these were horns for a Krampus party.  Don't want to read? Here's a video! If photos and text are better, carry on: Shoutout to  Lost Wax , I used one of his templates for this. Paper pattern transferred to 5mm foam and cut out Letters and registration marks matched to glue the horns together! I used hot glue, but contact glue would also work (I was not patient enough for contact glue) The horns are glued together. Now to decorate them! Applying foam clay (love this stuff!) to the horns like Kamui Cosplay does here One down, one to go Horns sculpted, now to make them wearable I used circles of 2mm foam sheet with two slits cut across the middle to secure the horns to a headband Then the bases of the horns were hidden by hot gluing down some black satin ribbon Hot glue on some fake flowers and we're done!
