Sugar Skull Masks

For those of you that don’t know, Halloween is my wedding anniversary.  When we got married, five years ago, we were dressed as skeletons(loved my hot pink veil).  This year, at the last minute I realized that I had skeleton costumes in everyone’s sizes.  The kids still wanted to be “characters” my brilliant idea was to make them “character” sugar skull masks. Little Sir got a clone trooper sugar skull and Little Miss was a Hello Kitty sugar skull.  I made more traditional ones for Robert and I and Little Man went bare (maybe I’ll make one and we can display all five).  This was a great, easy way to personalize plain costumes and avoid applying messy make-up.  They are made with glitter felt and puffy fabric paint, I whipped them up Saturday night. It will also be a wonderful memory of the five of us on our five year anniversary.

Everyone Needs a Mask

I like to doodle in my sketchbook, mostly line drawings, that's how the instant cemetery started. I was thinking that Crafterella sounds like a superhero name, so now I need a mask.

I doodled this up, this is a "rough" version. I think I need to make some more. Any mask is going to need sequins or rhinestones or glitter. I think one with fabulous eye make up would be nice, that way I don't have to really wear any. I think I'll need a cape too, like in that car commercial (the fine print says the cape isn't included with the car purchase, if it was I would so buy that car). Yes, this is really how my mind works.
