Still working on Halloween costumes and have nothing worth showing just yet. But in case you need a last-minute idea, here is a shot of Charlie and I from last year--I realized I never posted a picture.
We went as sushi. Specifically, shrimp nigiri and salmon roe roll.
I think mine is pretty self-explanatory--raided my stash for orange fabric to make a stuffed shrimp, white minky chenille for the rice, and black felt for the nori. Charlie's head piece is a large sheet of black foam wrapped around more chenille--we built this on top of his motorcycle helmet for stability. We stuffed it with newspaper and taped small orange balloons on top to serve as the salmon roe.
We look ridiculous, I know. But we won a prize for most original costume at our annual neighborhood Halloween party. This was a second win in a row--Charlie won the year prior dressed as a nun (I should dig up those pictures!). Not sure if we can pull off anything this year. But we're trying.
