My Halloween Inspirations :)

Here's a special Halloween post I've prepared. Bright and colourful, with recipe links, pictures of home decoration, make up and costumes including an awesome Zombie Walk, cute stuff and even new ideas for pumpkin carving and decorating! :)

When I was a kid, going around collecting sweets was something really new not everyone here was used to. In Germany it's far not that a big deal like in the US or the UK, but when there was a little Halloween party when we scurried around with toothpaste, toilet paper and tote bags, having used kajal for the first time, it was awesome. I remember us attempting to scare a former teacher, rang at the door intending to hide ourselves when he was quicker, teared the door open and scared us to death! Though it was very funny and I only have best memories concerning Halloween.
Sadly, I'm 21 now so ringing up for sweets isn't an option anymore. :(

Here's what I found this year:

This no carve pumpkin DIY is awesome!

This cute and so simple costume idea is to be found on http://modernkiddo.com/its-the-modern-kiddo-costume-parade-2/

If you're, like me, a fan of Dexter, those edible blood slides will be the best for your Halloween party. Check out the recipe from forkable: http://forkableblog.com/?p=908

Talking of Dexter, this cake is genius. Unfortunately I couldn't find a recipe.

Halloween Costume: Black & White characters using grayscale makeup! Reminds me of "Pleasantville"! ;)

This bat wall decoration might take some time, but the result is worth it!

How about dressing up your dog this year? :D

...Which leads us to the last and final part of my inspirations! I found a website about a zombie walk with many awesome pictures depicting even more awesome costumes. I reaaaally recommend this, have a look at it!  Zombie lovers will be blown away.

First cameo pendants! :)

Finally I could make my wish true of having those specific cameos I always wanted <3

Recently I updated you on the amount of cameo material I bought. And now...

...I can say I'm almost done with all of it! There are some missing chains for necklaces still, but I wanted to show you what I had accomplished already ;)

1,30 € at the copy shop. That's what I like about DIY: Such small amounts of money spent can make you feel so excited!

There are also upcoming rings, but I don't have ring bases atm because I'm running out of money :/

The evolution of a dress

Today I wanted to post sth different from my usual contents. When it comes to creating, I'm always in a process of recycling and altering. I enjoy that. I noticed that I've worn a specific dress more often, showing it in a new style each time.


Theme: Contrasts :)

After that, it was hanging in my closet for a longer time because I was dissatisfied with the fashion. I've had to less fabric to make it flattering and the end of the dress wasn't flared enough so I looked like I was fat. :D

Then I wore it again for a shoot in April 2011 named "Spieluhr", which means musical clock/music box in German and is named after a song by a German band. I tore the hem apart because it matched the theme :D but basically..it was because I wouldn't look fat anymore ^^

Now it's tainted with artifical blood... nothing I can't cover up using Photoshop.

At next, I chose the dress a few months later for my ghost-shoot which was about certain camera settings that make the pic looks scary in the end. The following pic shows none of those settings but the dress with an extending fabric that helped me look like I just left the grave:

(that was FUN!)

And lastly, after the dress had been tortured for several horror activities, it found it's place at a frozen over lake with my mother's underskirt from her bridal dress. I love these snowwhite photos, especially because I wasn't sure about the whole thing in the first place.

And so it ends. :)

Helloween-Posting :)

 

Helloween's coming and besides some nice pics I discovered, I wanted to present you some zombie-themed jewellery and hair accessories I recently made! :)

   

I love zombie stitches and the combination of purple and green!

Happy Helloween!
