It is two weeks to Halloween, Everyone!
This is one of my favorite holidays. I absolutely love sewing, costume design, and makeup design - it's the perfect holiday for me!
(plus, it gives me a chance to wear mascara in public...)
I'll blog more about my own Halloween experiences later, but for now I have a couple of questions for all of you:
Are any of you planning costumes? What will you be?

I went as Pennywise from IT (2017 version) last year - I made the costume from scratch so that was a personal achievement! It was super fun! It was at TAFE (kinda like community college) because we were doing Halloween cupcake sale.
I will post pics when I find them!
I'm not planning any costumes this year but looking forward to seeing everybody else's!

Pennywise sounds like an AWESOME costume! I would love to see pictures, especially since you made the costume.
This year, my wife and I have two sets of costumes. For our church's Trunk or Treat event, we're building "The Southern Pole." We're both going to be penguins with Southern accents.
For Halloween parties, we're dressing up as The Red Queen and The White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. I actually talked my wife into being the Queen, even though she hates dresses! What this means is that I get to transform myself into a giant rabbit AND that giant rabbit will be teaching university students on October 31st!
(pictures will follow, I promise)

Looks AMAZING! I love it! I wonder if a giant gold belt around the waist where you can connect the watch to would be a nice finishing touch? It would give that lovely red jacket a chance to almost like a flared dress or a rockabilly dress! Can't wait to see it all finished and see pictures of you and your wife looking absolutely fabulous!! I finally found the pictures of me as Pennywise! I was rushed when I had to apply the red markings so they aren't the best! I'm also not happy with how the wig came out, it wasn't as full and fluffy as the movie version but I'm still proud of it. My friend, Jacinta, in the middle was dressed up as Morticia from The Addams Family. Ashley, right, was dressed as casual Charmander (aka Charmander hoodie haha) We were selling Halloween cupcakes and I accidentally made some people have panic attacks from phobia of clowns... Oops. I just literally walked up the stairs and someone freaked out when they saw me and their friends crowded around them. I hope they were OK! We went to the library to sell cupcakes and the Student International Centre was completely decked out in Halloween decorations!! So as we were leaving, the lady ran out, screaming "omg hi hi, please come in!" so we went in to say hi and got photos lol Fun day! Then came the time to wash the white clown paint off. Took two showers. It wasn't fun. LOL

I think I posted mine in the general pics thread, maybe, but definitely somewhere else. I'm a Rainbow Witch! Not that it'll be readily apparent since I've chosen to forgo a pointy hat, the cornerstone of Halloween witches! But I have a pastel colored wig, which is a mess, but I've got sectioned off into a pony tail so it doesn't fly everywhere! I also did a 3XL type-dye t-shirt (which fits like a small robe, honestly) with fringe at the bottom, finished with a pattern of repeating rainbow beads knotted on. I've made a simple rainbow bracelet with the beads I ORIGINALLY ordered for the fringe (without checking the size of the bead, d'oh). I have others that will do nicely as well - my rainbow and black paracord bracelet I made with my dad, and the rainbow skulls bracelet I made myself. To top it off, I found a package of rainbow strands of Mardi Gras type beads at the pharmacy. They're easily my fave part of the costume even though they're so cheap! I know I'll be wearing it to my D&D game the sunday before Halloween, BUT I haven't decided if I want to hit up houses for candy... I look and sound a lot younger than 30, so maybe I can get away with it... . if my bf goes with me, he'll look like a chaperone because of the height difference hahahahahaha.

I loved seeing the picture of your costume, and REALLY love that you made it yourself! Halloween is just such a fun holiday - it lets us cultivate the child that's still inside each of us. Have a great time!

Don't get too bummed about the red lines - I have incredible trouble trying to get markings like that to be symmetrical. You actually did a really good job with it! (BTW - if you're using real clown greasepaint, the secret to fast removal is baby oil.) I'll see if I can rig up a belt or chain of some sort to the watch. That's a great idea. I'm so super stoked about my costume. Imagine being one of my students, and having no idea what I'm going to dress up as, and then having the White Rabbit run into class saying "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" I seriously cannot wait.

I just saw this and stopped right there, it is easily one of the best costumes I've seen, but what caught my EYE is how incredibly big your EYES are in that costume, now I wonder why I never noticed that in your other pics.

But as a costume it is really good, the pics even kinda freak me a bit staring at them, so yah, great costume! Just creepy as hell...

Here are some photos from a full-costume test of my White Rabbit outfit today. Some of it was purchased online, but I'm proud to say that I made the red tailcoat and the furry feet from scratch. My wife and I worked together on the giant pocket watch. For Halloween, I'll have a foam latex bunny prosthetic - I didn't feel like gluing things to my face today. I just saw this and stopped right there, it is easily one of the best costumes I've seen, but what caught my eye is how incredibly big yours are in that costume, now I wonder why I never noticed that in your other pics. Is it safe to assume you were going to say, "How big your EARS are in that picture?" (after all, I'm still not even an A cup...)

What caught my EYE is how... I just read that and laughed, it made perfect sense when I wrote it. Most of the time the way I write is the same as if I am talking, and in this case, facial expressions would have gone a long ways. I read back my stuff sometimes, and it needs a lot of clarifying, but I'm just not up to doing a lot of that. But there are days that I have no idea what I meant and I just wrote it...
OK there I fixed I think...

You did a good fix, but now no one will know what we're talking about... <3
