This project started very differently... namely as a Halloween costume for Tim! It's been an unfinished project since then, but one of my Me Made May goals was to finish up some UFOs.
Let's take a break from our regularly-scheduled cool weather clothing making. I needed a Halloween costume to attend a party this weekend. I have no idea why this idea popped into my head and would not leave, but I really wanted to go as Tina Belcher from Bob's Burgers:
I was really struggling with what to wear for Halloween. I'd heard that some folks in my office were really into dressing up, plus I was handing out candy in my apartment building and heading to a costume party, so I needed something.
We got the idea for the Medusa hair from Martha Stewart's website, and it worked out better than expected when combined with a toga fashioned from an old sheet, some gladiator sandals, funky snake-like earrings, and a ton of green eye shadow and glitter!
