Crafts
It turned out very nicely and I am a little sad that painted functional objects are viewed with such disinterest when compared with painted canvas, because I actually find it much more enjoyable to paint some existing object than a boring flat piece of paper. C'est la vie, I suppose.
I got to carve pumpkins this year! Yay! The cat is my previous skinny cat pumpkin design, rendered beautifully using one of those $5 electric carving blades. What a great idea that was! And I roasted pumpkin seeds after with sage and black truffle olive oil. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
I started this costume in 2004 and failed so miserably that I haven't worn a Halloween costume for two years. But I decided to finish it this year for my trip to the Black Cat Ball. I also entered in the deviantART costume contest. You can read more about the horrors of making the costume on my deviantART version.
Halloween 2003. Modified from a Sense & Sensibility pattern.
Hair made from cheap halloween witch wigs. That was - alas! - as high as my boobs would go. I just don't know how they got them up so high back then - years of corset-wearing, I suppose.
