Some time ago I did this small #fanart of Poogie, little #piglet in #MosterHunterWorld. Poogie has many outfits, changing with holidays and seasons and I thought Halloween version was the best I saw. Whole pig's body disappeared, only empty #ghost#costume floating in the air.
An #eclipse can be a costume opportunity, if you really want it to be one. :) (This was from 2017. I didn't dress up today.) #solareclipse#crochet#costume
Appeal: does anyone have any juicy photos of museum/collection textiles that I may use in a training session? (With credit, obviously.)
I'm after:
👔 packed/stored textiles (stored well or poorly, your choice!)
👚 examples of different types of historic and modern textiles
👗 examples of damage to textiles (stains, tears, pest nibbles, anything!)
🧶 identified fibres under a microscope
Some very cool sketches from costume designer Keeley Gunnell (Insta @keefashion_) who will be working on two upcoming action / horror projects with us. Super excited to see what she dreams up!
In 2019 I made a bathtub costume for my son, to fit over his wheelchair. We called it the Bathmobile, because it had working headlights and a license plate. It's made from discarded cardboard (a wardrobe box turns out to be the perfect size), frappuccino lids, tap lights, scrubbers, and rubber duck from the 99-cent store, and a lot of spray paint, foil tape, and duct tape. #wheelchaircostume#costume#bathtub#bubblebath#Halloween
Academia.edu is a neverending source of high quality research. In this case, however, it would be more precise to speak of cutting edge(s) research? However, take a look for yourself.
It’s #FursuitFriday! I can’t believe my super trip to FC and then Michigan was not even a week ago! I was so glad to meet a bunch of you out there and re-experience the west coast for the first time in many years. I hope you all have a good weekend!

I crocheted Thor and Loki helmets for my kid and her friend to wear for Halloween in high school. Various thrifted yarns, including some metallics I rarely use, which was fun. #crochet#costume#Thor#Loki#Halloween
About a dozen years ago, I crocheted a coral reef costume for myself, inspired by the big international coral reef crochet project. Random secondhand yarns, lots of hyperbolic shapes. Can't see in these photos, but some of the shapes have tiny beads sewn inside. #crochet#costume#coralreef
In 2017, I crocheted myself a solar system costume. The headpiece is mounted on a bike helmet for stability (I got that tip from some folks who build showgirl costumes). The tunic is made from fine black linen yarn, very matte, very tedious, much like I imagine space is most of the time. The planets are made using an online sphere pattern generator, so that I could vary the sizes in a predictable way; they are strung on a fishing line with beads, and suspended from an elastic collar, also crocheted. They are also kept in place with a beaded "asteroid belt", located between Mars and Jupiter, of course. Photographed at Manhattan Beach Pier. All second-hand yarns, though I had to ask around for enough yellow to make the sun so large. #solarsystem#crochet#costume#planets#sun#astronomy#planetary#yesplutotoo
