Halloween Costume Contest

Voodoo Doll

My Voodoo Doll costume, with me, as the model. 

I went to this Halloween event with my friend, who was a Voodoo Priest.

The costume was handmade with no commercial pattern.  I made the patchwork dress and armwarmers by creating my own patchwork material.  I cut up odd pieces of 8 different fabrics and sewed them back together to make one sheet of fabric.  I reinforced the seams with yarn, adding to the handmade look.

My wig was also made by hand, out of yarn, attached to hair ties.  I even “sewed” up my skin and my lips shut with yarn glued to my face with Spirit Gum.
