First time poster, long time lurker. Finally, at the age of 32, I'm starting to get into Halloween. I saw a picture last year from the early part of the 1900's with the people wearing burlap masks. It's one of the creepiest pics I had ever seen and decided to make my own mask.
Started out with some burlap and paper mâché. Dunked the burlap on the mâché and formed it over a foam head. I couldn't decide which way to go with it, so I just grabbed some old jeans, khakis and yarn. Spent about 4 hours and ended up with this.
I'm really happy with it, but now I need the "costume" and prop to go with it. I'm thinking either overalls with a flannel or some old pants, flannel and suspenders. Would love to hear some feedback on this.
As for the prop, I'm thinking of making (out of wood) either a double sided axe or a cleaver. Thoughts?
Any help or insight is appreciated. Also, if there's any recommendations for the mask to make it better, I'm all ears.
Thanks guys
