Thanks Dan, DH... Yeah witch doctor..looking like it. The skirt is interesting. The skull part, well not the face, the hat part, I think you are talking about. Yup its a hat, I made it out of deer skin with a white strip of rabbit fur down the center. The only part of the costume not made from dead animal are the metal parts, and hot glue. But all the animals are old and recycled from thrift stores so I felt ok about that.

Ya my teacher was kind of a jerk. He would give us an assignment and then not allow you to go outside his idea. one assignment was massive pieces of cardboard, we had to cover in paper for texture, and then paint on it. I had a LOT of texture, I love texture. He came over when I was finished, pointed it out to the whole class, and then smoshed it all down flat with his hands. With added words for extra embarrassment. I never came back.

Which sucked, it was a good opportunity, it was art classes run out of emily carr university. But he was just too much. And I was young and rebellious.

Your one teacher sounds like a real treat. I would have made it through one class.
