Description My first holiday costume!
I'll post the group shot soon; we made these to go with our holiday dance to "Kidnap Mr. Sandy Claws" off the Nightmare B4 Christmas soundtrack. We used masks as props (I was "Shock" )... I'm hoping to get the video captured soon, the angle wasn't the greatest, but it's better than nothing. :}

I wish I could get better shots of the belt, I may just scan it in, I spent about a month hand beading each panel and you can hardly tell in these pics. And I don't know what the deal is with my camera or why it came out all grainy... Bah...

Merry Christmas season everyone!

Christmas would have been a little more racy if you had been at the Nativity. Very, very cool.

Wow, that is TOO awesome! Love the fabric . How much do you charge to make costumes like that? Or do you sell them at all?

Gosh, I take forever to reply, eh?
Thanks so much!

I haven't made to sell yet because usually I just whip it together when I need something, heh.
But people keep asking so maybe when I have time I'll start.

It still shows that there's mind-boggling detail, though!

This costume is seriously amazing. I love the back lacing in the turkish vest. And the belt is fantastic, I love that it looks like there are big candy canes hanging off of it.
Absolutely awesome and that fabric is perfect.

Can I play Santa next year?
I'd have absolutely no problem whatsoever with ya'll kidnapping me.

In fact, we still have time this year...

ArmouredRaven In reply to MajorTommy [2007-12-06 21:26:38 +0000 UTC]

LOL. Sorry, already kidnapped me a Santy for life!
You could try Shirley, she may be in the market for some kidnapping.

MajorTommy In reply to ArmouredRaven [2007-12-08 04:11:18 +0000 UTC]

And what a lucky ole' Elf he be!

But when I said "ya'll", I did mean you all.
It wouldn't be as much fun, if it were only one or two of you!

But then again, it is Shirley.
And if she were to get some pointy little ears, and made a mathching little Elf hat for her costume...
Hmm...

We found it at Joanns, they were sending it all back for some reason, I think they decided it wouldn't be a good seller? There was ONE bolt left that they had overlooked so we bought it dangit!
