Zoolander and Mugatu

Image
I'm working on a number of projects at the same time, so we went low key and high fashion for Halloween this year as Zoolander and Mugatu from Zoolander . Mugatu is wearing the finest  thrift store sweater  with felt letters glued in place (with Tacky Glue ) and tubes of black fabric hand stitched to the cuffs. The collar didn't actually need to be attached, it just plops in place when the sweater is zipped up waist cincher  from the internet black pants  that are unremarkable except for being part of this fabulous ensemble Makeup consists of black eyeshadow and pencil eyeliner Hair done with silver hair wax  (he is naturally a ginger) Zoolander in the most chic basic black tee shirt and jeans covered with strips of black trash bags and duct tape Makeup was kind of trial and error based on low-res screen shots and these two YouTube tutorials. Supplies were my regular foundation, black eye shadow and pencil liner, white cheap-Halloween-palette

Tuber Placeholder Gift

Image
I ordered some dahlia tubers for my mom as a birthday gift, but they don't ship until later in the month, so I made a placeholder gift for when we celebrate. On its own, the flowers were a bit top heavy, so I added scraps of cardboard and a ton of hot glue to the bottom to balance it out. Blossoms: shiny origami paper and  this tutorial Stems: green pipe cleaners Pot: half a toilet paper tube covered in construction paper Dirt: a couple chunks of compostable padding that came in my meal kit delivery
