These pictures were taken by Alistair for the Dr Sketchy records. I need to get some more descriptive images of the actual costume itself, but this will give you a sense of it.
I am very happy with the bird mask, it's really light and easy to wear, and you get very good visibility. Also it doesnt get in the way so much.
I now need to make more of them! And I am also going to be investigating how to make a wolf mask in a similar way.
The coat has a nice beaded trim on it that I found at Pete's Emporium in Porirua (yay for emporiums!) and has wing sleeves, currently they have charcoal sequins on the insides, running down the seams, but I want to line the insides of the sleeves with velvet and oil slick colour feather shapes - in a similar style to the neckpiece I made for this costume.
The overskirt has feather-forms stitched into the waistband - this has the added benefit of keeping the waistline nice and firm as well as looking pretty.
I think I want to trim the sleeves with lace or sequins too.
