crisis diverted

so... after finding some inexpensive pheasant and peacock feathers at a fabric store, last night I went about making my peacock costume. I also made a mask for my costume which was way easy and cheap... I just used scrapbooking paper, some leftover gemstones I got for Em's bachelorette party decor and some ribbon. I used these awesome masks by ccaspia as inspiration.

stay tuned for mark's costume... a hawaiian style shirt with a large tiger on the front, fake black oakleys with long pieces of leather that I glued feathers to, black fingerless leather gloves, hand cuffs, a silver badge to be worn on a chain around his neck, cowboy boots (he already had these from last years costume), black jeans (his own), a tribal style bracelet for his bicep, a fake 9mm pistol strapped to his leg, and last and most importantly hairspray and a teasing comb (keep in mind he has long hair) Any ideas what he's going to be?? Oh how I LOVE Halloween!!
