Thursday, March 2, 2006 - Costumes

For two days I have been having luck with costume items; a coworker brought in a black trench coat for my Johnny Appleseed and a long black choir robe. Then today I went to visit Salvation Army and was able to get 2 prom dresses and a hat to decorate for a  zombie (something scary) Southern Belle, and 2 blue suit coats and 3 gray suit coats to start working on my solidiers outfits. I also got a good hat I might could use for a man costume for the era. I was wilder than a March hare I was so excited! Thank goodness for thrift store finds, strange things make me happy. Now if I could just start bringing in some ideas to start creating some things as props. I want to use as many props as I can use this year, so I know I need to quit talking/writing about it and get started. I sent a pm to someone on Unpleasant Street forum hoping to find out how to paper mache. I have absolutely no idea how to do it. More later...
