Faun costume

Nice work, that looks great :) The legs are fantastic!

That's a beauty!

I did something similar once (and still have it, though I don't think any photos exist!) and suspect that my shoes were even less comfortable than yours. I carved hooves out of a railroad tie, but only under the balls of my feet - basically, I had to walk on tiptoe, three or four inches off the ground, while I was wearing them.

I do like your complete ensemble - it's just the sort of thing a creature of the mythic wildlands should be wearing this year! What sort of pelvic bone is that?

Thank ye kindly!

Ooh, I wish you had pictures! I intend to do that with the hooves, actually, but have designed them in such a way that a quarter inch thick, 3 inch wide bar of steel reinforced on the underside by a bar of metal welded on will support the rest of my foot. In theory it'll support some of my weight to be more comfortable, while also giving me the look of actually having hooves. But really, railroad ties? Was it hard to carve them?

Thank you! *grin* It's woodland chiq, don't you know? I was at the height of dead animal fashion. I had...oh, let's see. I had a deer jawbone, a deer vertebrae, a vulture legbone and wingbone, and I honestly have no idea what the pelvis is from. I found it in the woods--two of the exact same kind actually--about four years back. Nobody can figure out what they are! The next version will have more bones. And no fur on the vest, haha.
