I only did a full costume on the day of the contest. The theme of the dance was masquerade and since I was already making the fancy dress and masks I thought I'd join in the costume contest fun. I was a Gazzelle and my husband escorted me as a Lion. The dress took some elements from elizeabethen fashion The over dress is completely lined in red. My husband obviously went Victorian. the frock coat is borrowed but I made the red ascot. The masks themselves were made molded with plaster then painted with acrylics. They were amazingly comfortable to wear.
Here I am before the contest.
Someone was awesome enough to upload the entire contest onto youtube. Here's the part we were in (about 1:45):
This is us at the dance that night. I was asked to hold a bunny, I didn't ask queastions.

Pics of faeries past
Been meaning to post these for sometime. These were a commission I did for a themed birthday party. They all got to choose what kind of wings they wanted and what colors
She wanted to be a dragon fly
This little guy wanted something a bit more masculine...so I made him dragon wings. Doesn't he look fierce?
They all look so at home in the garden.
They later used these wings for professional pictures taken by Ohbaby photography
