I volunteered for the Free people holiday craft swap and this is what I made my swap buddy. Four paper cranes from an old 2007 anthropology catalog. Unfortunately I didn’t take pics of the finished product. Opps. You can see all the other holiday swap gifts here

Dead Bunny Costume

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

For this Halloween I was inspired to make a bunny ear head band that was posted on the free people blog but originally came from monoxious. I was mulling over the idea and when I went to Goodwill I found a Black spandex crew neck shirt that zigzagged down the back. It was crazy and right then and there I decided to be a dead bunny rabbit. I made the ears and I also made a choker collar, and lace rabbit paws. FYI all these tutorials are popping up because of Maison Michel’s designs.
On a sad note I never did carve my pumpkin for Halloween):

I pulled this photo before my computer screen crapped out and I wanted to post it just because I liked it a lot. I am loving the colors and bead detailing. I don’t think I could pull of the hat but I’d give it a try.

I just enjoy the look of this dress. It is handwoven by kelgwo and is perfect for the current weather we are having here in New England. You can find and purchase these handwoven pieces on etsy. There is also a nicely designed website that you can check out if interested. www.kelgwo.cl.
