My wish since starting this costume was to get it photographed in a pumpkin patch. Last month on an early Saturday morning that wish was granted! It was an cold and windy day, which was unfortunate because my hair doesn’t get on well with wind and turned to a frizzy mess in minutes. But the … Continue reading Fall Flower Fairy Photos

I took pictures in one last year but didn’t plan … Continue reading Heinrich Mücke Inspired Dress, Photos
Onto part two of making the mossy dress! When I got started on this my plan for the skirt was a little vague. There was supposed to be a petal shaped organza overlay with moss at the tips of each petal. But I didn’t like how the light green organza looked with my other materials, … Continue reading Making a Forest Sprite Costume, Part Two
My allergies have been crazy this week so it seems fitting to blog about a costume that i’m allergic to! I’m not even kidding. The only thing I learned from making this is that burlap, plastic moss, and real moss are three materials I will never be touching again.
