Rummages through Closet...

"Lets see.. I have this old bra I wore two Halloweens ago when I went to that party as Xena Warrior Princess. And this strange vest that I got when hostessing at that restaurant... Oh.. and here's grandma's shawl for my hips and her lace gloves!"

More rummaging through closet...

"Oh, and my sister's old tie-dyed skirt! Sure it has no red or black in it, but no one will notice, cause it will be dark! Hmm.. something is missing.. lets see.. needs something else.."

Squeals in Triumph!

"Here it is.. that second place medal I won in 4-H for baking muffins! The perfect touch!!!'

heeheehee

Just to think, if it sells, it could show up at a Hafla near you!


I'm bookmarking this store for future entertainment purposes.

OMG.. zills to go with the lilac and black costume from the same seller...

gold Turkish NEW bellydance zills crystal rainbow on eBay, also, Women's Dancewear, Dancewear Accessories, Clothes, Shoes Accessories (end time 26-Aug-08 19:00:12 BST)


She says if there's interest she'll get more of these.. who would be interested in zills that not only have sequins superglued to them (probably deadening the sound) but are also only one hole so they wouldn't even be stable?

That top one looks like someone murdered grandma's curtains to make that costume. I can just see grandma falling over in a dead faint when she walks into her parlor and there's giant pieces cut out of all her drapes.

The second one.. I really like the color combination, but then I'm a sucker for turquoise and gold. Even the 'theme' of the costume works.. but it fails in the execution. I'm actually saving a pic of this, cause I think I could redo the theme and have it coming out far better than that.

You go for it! Probably a lot of UBDCs started out as interesting concepts that far outstripped the creator's technical ability.

The second is a nice color! And well made, it's just the combination of materials/design that just didn't do it. The chunky scarabs on the bra, the massive scarab on the stomagh, but that's not even that bad, the wool cord??!! Why?

I started sketching ideas for this one tonight. I still have one - well, now two, that I plan to do before this. I'll probably wait until I'm a little closer to my goal weight to start this one.

I think I'm going to end up with an extensive collection.. lol

I was thinking the scarab looked like it was made of pipe cleaners or something. Very, very odd..
