Happy Halloween!

I've always enjoyed creating my own Halloween costumes and this year was no different. I had the idea to be some kind of ethereal creature for a party I went to on Saturday.  So at first I was going to be a Woodland Queen or Queen of the Forest, but once it started coming together, my costume looked more like Mother Nature.  I may not have been a super hero but I had a lot of power at my finger tips!  I only had to cast lightening on a couple people though. ;)

Remember the old Chiffon Margarine commercial from the 70's?  

This pose is a little funny because you can't tell that I'm not standing straight in a "perfect mountain pose" as we do in Yoga.  Yet, I'm a little tilted to the left.  I promise that my arms are even. hehe

My crown had pretty butterflies, babies breath, gold glittered leaves, ivy and even a little bird.  It was such a fun costume to wear!  It felt quite different and much more girly from many other years of being a vampire or going in the direction of more Goth.

Happy Halloween and be safe!

Holly

Beautiful! Love that you still make your own costumes. We always did growing up, but I'll admit to store bought costumes for the kidlets. Though, we have been known to craft an accessory or two from scratch. My fav to date, is still the Harry Potter wand that was whittled, burned, stained, and wire wrapped from a branch in the backyard. Hope your Halloween is wickedly wonderful, Holly! :>
