Homemade Ganesh Hindu God Costume
My love for elephants got the best of my artistic abilities this year. I never used to make costumes cause I thought it was too time consuming. But for the last three years since I began my artistic journey in costume making, it has touched me personally and professionally. My first costume was killer clown from outer space, hand made from scratch and I wore it to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan for Hollow weekend. Everyone was amazed, took pictures, laughed and it touched me personally.
I am an artist by trade, I paint in Pointillism which is my style. I expanded into making kewl costumes for myself and for my friends to be wowed and awed at. I put my heart and soul into my pieces of artwork which I think my costumes are. The Homemade Ganesh Hindu God Costume was made from 100% recycled materials. It is held together by duct tape, caulking, rope, and paint.
The fabric was from old curtains, the trim was made from Christmas ribbon. The stones and pearls were from a box of junk I had. The head piece also includes cardboard, duct tape, carpet underlayment, acrylic paint, rope, and varnish.
So, for my 40th birthday last night, I unveiled my art piece and the wow factor was in full force. I hope that somewhere out there someone will judge a costume on workmanship, creativity, and appreciation of hard work done. Enjoy my costume and share it with everyone.
