Here's a look at the Halloween costume I've been putting together for the past week and a half - mostly late at night after work. I like to go out with the kids. No. I don't get any candy...
Check out Evil Ted Smith for patterns, and Punished Props for tutorials on all this stuff. They are AMAZING.
