Couple Quick Questions. Where did you get those awesome Bunny Slippers!! And what did you use as a pattern for that mask? I was looking for a full face version like that, but could only find Half-Face "Hannibal" Masks.

the awesome bunny slippers are something i threw together of the top of my head (no pattern)
i used some long hair pure white fun fur, and went to great lengths to age them. there actually quite a simple design. (i'm not much of a seamstress.lol)

for the mask, i purchased one of those dollar store jason masks. i cut it down till i had something i liked then traced it onto my leather. (9 0z veg tanned)
i used the mask as a basic template and cut my holes alittle different to the standard jason mask. the mask was just to position the eyes and nose in the correct place.
use a new exacto and it will cut the leather like butter.(even thick stuff )
i ran the leather mask under hot water, to make it hard/ridgid. i let it dry over a 2liter pop bottle to give it its shape.

That was going to be my next idea. Since I would want them Sturdy enough to wear around (maybe even run in (Hehe) Then I could buy some white Fur and Glue/Sew it over a Set of Tennis Shoes to make them more durable...

That's the best costume I've seen! the bloody bunny slippers are a great touch. My 13 yr old loves steampunked stuff, he wants me to buy him a steampunked nerf gun.

thx.

i noticed your login. i have fond memories of carving turnips for halloween. (my mother visited canada one oct. as a child)

it wasn't until i moved to canada that i carved my first pumkin (back in 1980)

she always made a big deal for halloween. even in the uk.

I used to carve turnips, lol back in the 80's pumpkins were some rare exotic fruit here.

Very nicely done.

Lol @ the bunny slippers

Where did you pick up your straight Jacket? I noticed (Or at least I THINK I noticed) that you embellished it a b it yourself, but I cant seem to find a decent (Durable) one for a decent price.

when i painted the murals, i was left with a crap load of artist canvas (had to buy a role)

i stitched the jacket from scratch out of the extra canvas.
i took a long sleeve t-shirt of mine, and traced it out on the canvas (alittle larger to leave room for sewing) i traced the arms and front of the shirt.

for the back, i folded the shirt in half to trace and added a couple extra inches to each side. the extra fabric allowed me to fold over the ends where the 2 pieces overlap. its basicly a backwards shirt, i just made the pattern as i went (trying on the pieces as i completed them.)the grommets,buckels and webbing (canvas straps) where all purchased from fabric land. again simple sewing to put it together.
you can see the canvas i started with in these pictures (clean stuff behaind the jacket.)
its nice and heavy, probably similar to levi's denim.

i didn't think to take any pictures of the actual process.
