It's a Gothic Spider Bride costume made by me! I started this costume last year with intent to start up Boo Couture, my costume design business. But with being evacuated during the Witch Fire and then whole craziness of the holiday season, it ended up in the UFO pile. I finally put all the finishing touches on it last night, and I plan to try and sell it once I get some better pictures of it.
It's a size 16/18 gown (I need to take some more accurate measurements) with with a headband based veil. The whole gown is constructed from a polyester satin and trimmed with metallic rick-rack, tulle bows and plastic spiders. It'll look great with some goth makeup and fishnet stockings. I'm really, really happy with how it turned out. It's going to be hard to part with it. I hope whoever gets to be the Gothic Spider Bride for Halloween takes really good care of it.
Friday night Lindsey and Cornbread came up to our house for dinner. Lindsey made some wonderful pasta for dinner and I've been enjoying the leftovers all weekend! I wanted to put out some seasonal appetizers since it is now officially Halloween season, so I tried out my new eyeball mold. The green zombie eye dip is kinda like french onion dip and the blue zombie eye dip is garlic and chives. I just dumped some dip type ingredients in blender then added a packet of Knox dissolved in hot water. After the eyeballs set-up over night I painted the veins and iris with gel food color. The blue zombie eye dip was definitely the yummiest. Onion flavored eye ball dip is just a little too creepy for me. But the garlic and chives eyeball dip is a keeper and is fabulous on buttery Keebler Club crackers.
