Tomorrow's still All Soul's Day...
Nov. 1st, 2010 10:59 amI'm not ready for Halloween to be over yet! If you aren't either, here's an amazing little zombie story written by my friend Mel!
I was a plague doctor for Halloween, which is apparently one of those costumes I have to explain to everybody. Here's a link for the bewildered, and here's a major source of inspiration. He also makes a lot of very cool steampunky leatherwork, but that there is what I based my pattern off. My mask isn't leather, because that's expensive and hard to stitch, but it's thick pleather sewn with waxed linen cord. I want to decorate it a little more and get some good close-ups, but for now... ( Halloween pictures! )
Pictures from this year and last are all on Facebook.
