Black Widow Spider Costume
October, 2006
Journal Entries

 

October 17: The legs are made of three pair of spandex tights, with paper towel rolls in the ends. The "backpack" is a satin-covered sheet of plastic needlepoint canvas.

 

The inner veil is made of spiderweb lace, and pinned to my hair. The chopsticks in the back give it some shape. Then the hat goes on over that, and the outer veil of black netting is pinned in place.
October 18: The eyes are 22mm faceted cabochons, glued to the spiderweb lace. I couldn't find red cabochons, so these are clear ones painted with stained glass paint.
