Musings of a Costume Faery

Have nothing in your life that is not either practical or beautiful, like faery dust.

It’s been a long time since I packed my own lunch. Yes, you see I’ve packed it in waxed canvas etee food wraps. So many reasons to love my @shopetee and shhh it’ll make great stocking stuffers! #foodie #slowfood #sustainable #madebyhand #oldschool #stockingstuffers

In 2010 we broke ground in a forest near Lake Ontario. With careful planning we only had to remove one tree. The branches of towering white pines, especially laden with snow, affectionately brush the house in this bedroom view. . . . . #forestlife #bedroom #roomwithview #blackoaks #thequiethouse #homebuilder #selfbuild #greeneandgreene #homesforhumans

This DIY crown was hard for me to make and fairly fragile to transport to our @aquamermaidschool session, but for this shot that took only three minutes, I think it was well worth the effort. . . . . #mermaids #mermaidkids #photography #costumediy #fantasy #mythicalcreatures

What are you dressing up as for Halloween night? It’ll be too chilly for this, but I’m loving this fierce fairy I put together from a mix of thrifted and ready made products from my stock room.

These @elope.inc horns. were bright gold, but I scuffed them up to match the battle weary armour for a Tolkienesque creature costume. Especially for ages 10-12, when you cannot wear a mask to school you can still do something eerie and creepy. #halloweenatschool #tween #costumeideas from #fx4costumes #tolkien #creatures #warcraft (at Clarkson, Mississauga)

#quickcostumefx4 witches are always hot and this year they are hotter. Put a under bust corset over an inexpensive full length black dress. Wear a big and I mean big hat. Use green face paint with a setting powder. Add dramatic cat’s eye makeup and eyebrows, matte red lipstick and a beauty mark. Socks with Stripes are a fantastic touch. #wicked #wickedwitchofthewest #halloween #halloweencostume

I was tempted to get these beautiful pumpkins, but I know the local rodents will make pumpkin pie out of them before we get close to Halloween. (at Port Credit)

At Halloween most tween boys want a scary mask, but I managed to convince these three to play werewolves. They had a blast posing for @stjoestoronto in anticipation of #towesthalloweenfest @bloorwestvillagebia Costume and styling by #alisonpentland makeup by #AnitaCane photography by @sandynicholsonphoto #halloweencostume #halloween2017 #tween #tweencostume #werewolves #boys

Captain Underpants Family Costumes enroute to #yyz had fun creating #tararibble aka #wedgiewoman for the mom. She’s wearing a solid purple shirt and adding custom wig with pinchers, oversize pearls, custom cat-eyes glasses and gloves to complete her super villain look. . . . . #captainunderpants #tararibble #costume #cosplay #halloween2017 #halloweencostume #costumes #costumeideas #costumeshop #family #familycostume #familycostumes #fxcostumes #feefifofuncostumes #mississauga (at Clarkson, Mississauga)
