Ha'11oween (Part 1)

I really like to do my costume reveal early in the day, but since I don't have any photos of DH and E (willful little stinker that she is) refuses to put on her costume for a photo, I'll have to do this in two parts. No guarantee about when part 2 is coming.

This year's jacks:

E's, mine, DH's, T's, R's

We each designed our own (DH used a template, and E chose shapes and then got help from mom).

T used the one and only pumpkin that grew in our garden. She thought the braces were incredibly clever.

COSTUME REVEAL

R wanted to be a vending machine, but didn't want to be in a cardboard box, so this is what I came up with:

T wanted to be a butterfly, but not just any old generic butterfly, a Blue Morpho butterfly. They look like this:

I found some great blue fabric, cut it out and painted it.

This shot with the flash shows the cool texture/shininess of the fabric. T and I were pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Everyone else's costumes are recycled this year, but DH looks pretty cool in R's costume from last year and E makes an adorable little cookie. I'll try to get those photos up later today.

Happy Halloween.
