Fox Head

 

I just love this thing.

Foxy Lady

For the past couple of weeks in Linda's class, we have been busy bees making costumes for a festival in Railroad Square this weekend called Artigras.  We are all making animal costumes and walking in a parade!

A couple of us are paper-macheing giant fox heads to wear...

So of course it only made sense to have fur on our costumes.  So a couple of days ago, Michelle and I went to Good Cents (love that place so much) and made out like complete bandits.  Less than a dollar each for giant stuffed animals with fox-like fur?! PERFECT. 

I proceeded to, like a complete weirdo, rip every seam out of these stuffed animals for their prized hides. I got a nice pile I think, and Michelle is taking all of the stuffing!

Unfortunately I can't be in the parade because of personal issues, but someone else will be taking my place, and we all know that I will, someday in the near future, put this costume on in it's entirety and snap a picture for all of you!

Went to Goodwill and the Salvation Army yesterday... Wednesdays always have great sales, and man did I make out like a bandit.

Got these awesome sunglasses (see above)! Finally. A great, cool looking pair.

A frame with a Good Imagination Award for a Mr. Steven Nabors. Wherever you are, sir, I will be proud of your great imagination, unlike whoever gave your award away.

A great necklace with a butterfly pendent.

A silver bracelet.

A cheap, but cute, cameo. Which will be made into a necklace in the near future.

Two amazing purses, one of which will be my official camera bag.

A nice scarf for the chilly fall days that I am loving so much.

A CD of family pictures that some heartless person clearly did not want. Don't fret anonymous family, I will cherish your memories and do some great photoshopping with them.

A 1970 edition of Black Beauty, a childhood favorite. :)
