Costumes

[BDawg]

Miles is so stoic. I thought for sure he'd tolerate a head piece more than Lexi. And he does. But we built the costume to accommodate him. We made she he could move his head and his ears weren't being pinned down (what we thought would be his biggest complaint ;)) We're working on wrapping Lexi up as a mummy right now. We got this special muslin cloth and tore it into strips. Now we're playing with different ways to wrap her to make sure she can still move and to avoid any "marks" on her costume when she goes to the bathroom. :eek:

BDawg (& hubby), I bow in your general direction! They are both adorable!!

[BDawg]

Oh! Just wait until you see the cobra piece! It totally makes the head dress!! We cut sequins to form the snake's eyes and even put jewels on the cobra's back! It looks awesome! And the wristbands look great too!! :) Can't wait for them to finish drying!

WOW that is AMAZING

[BDawg]

Here's to my "kids"… the incredibly cute furrybabies who let me do whatever I want to them. What little angels... :)

(And right in the middle of naptime too! For once, Lexi was more interested in snoozing than being photographed!)

BDawg that is great!!!! Very nicley done, are you going to enter them in a costume contest?

[BDawg]

Of course! You don't think we're nuts for no reason, do you? ;) There's a costume contest and dog walk that raises money for homeless dogs… And we've already signed up!! :)

[nomrbddgs]

That is soooooo cute and funny!

[basenjibratz]

That is truly amazing and I love seeing the progress and then the final results. You and hubby did a wonderful job. I can't believe the way the cobra turned out! It looks authenic and so elaborate! Great job. I hope they win a prize. Did you use gauze for Lexi's mummy wraps or sheets?

[basenjibratz]

Oh I don't know if you saw my post on Basenji Bratz, but when I made my hubby into a mummy, I dipped the material into coffee to stain it for an older effect on the wrappings. I think you can use tea or coffee.

Hey B, that's totally AWESOME! Like someone said if anyone could do it???:rolleyes:

You need to make sure you hang on to that and bring that boy to next's years fun Match competition…...he'd win hands down!

Great job.

[BDawg]

:) Yeah!! We're very excited! I still think we should consider something else for Lexi's costume. She didn't really like being wrapped up in the muslin pieces…lol... We'll have to work on it. WOO HOO!! First place here we come!!!!
