Received my swap gifts from StacheRabbit already. Thank you so much! The spider web skirt is awesome. I will be making an entire outfit centered around it lol.
We received our swap items and Oh! was Hunter (name change) overwhelmed. He has his own Jack Skellington suit and Zero too. He had to try it on immediately of course. It fita really well, though the Urkelesque waistline cracked me up, he was pleased. My homemade 7' Jack fell over in the last windstorm and broke into pieces (in the background). Jack was our house greeter for the season, perhaps Hunter will take on that role now, though he will be inside the house. He may supervise the reconstruction instead. *Hunter is on a stand because he decided to do a belly pop while standing earlier this week and broke his little finger off. Repaired but, Arghhhhhhh!* Thanks aernath! We are soooooooo happy! Please excuse my messy work area in the back.
YAY! So glad it worked out. Yes, the pants were a hoot, but after scrutinizing all the movie stills I could, those pants had to go up under that tiny little jacket front to make it look right. Sorry about Hunter breaking a pinky! My Rosen did that on his first outing. A gust of wind caught him, and flipped him over. He'd been leaning against a statue, so I figured he was safe. *sigh* So yeah, fixed, but annoying. Wooooow! A seven foot tall Jack?! Waaaaant. ^_^ Glad you two like it! The first attempt was with glow-in-the-dark fabric paint. It was white in the bottle, and white while wet, but unfortunately it dried clear. So it was Do Over time with the white.
First thing I saw was Zero and then the stripes and started to freak out. I pulled a XpHoBiaX and ate all the candy so there is none in your box, sorry.
Bahahaha! Oh, don't worry, there was so much fun stuff from you that I didn't even notice! Alaric: This is for me? Is this why you took my measurements? aernath: Yup! Dig in! Halloween Swap Swag! by aernath, on Flickr Alaric: Who am I? aernath: *squee!* JARETH! (the eye holes match up perfectly!) Alaric: *sigh* Not everyone with a cool mask is David Bowie... Halloween Swap Swag! by aernath, on Flickr Doll-sized tarot cards, a necklace (or bracelet for me if I steal-- ahem, borrow it from Alaric), some skull beads with shiny eyes (PERFECT!), skull candle... and that's just what was in the skull-bedecked bag! Halloween Swap Swag! by aernath, on Flickr Poe: I am a great familiar! My head turns, my beak opens, my wings flap! I am a wonderful friend Halloween Swap Swag! by aernath, on Flickr I was so busy putting all the clothes on Alaric, I forgot to take pictures of them off him! There are holes in the back of the leather jerkin (that has full length skull fabric in back - hard to describe, I should have gotten a photo! lol) so he can wear the wings with it. Yay! And a pair of pants, a reversible belt with more of the skull fabric, and a pair of leather SHOES that match the jerkin! And that's just the outfit! Halloween Swap Swag! by aernath, on Flickr There's also a rib-and-spine altar with skulls! Halloween Swap Swag! by aernath, on Flickr Halloween Swap Swag! by aernath, on Flickr And a Space Shuttle pin! Woooot! Halloween Swap Swag! by aernath, on Flickr Alaric says Thank You, and bids you bow to his Greatness (now that he has a "scepter"). Ooooh, this was so much fun! Thank you! Halloween Swap Swag! by aernath, on Flickr
Yay! Alaric looks rather regal with his dragon scepter and the silver at his neck. The one floppy feather keeps you humble, or so I'm told. So glad it fits, with his wings on. Great swap - partner!
I am sorry for my crappy cell phone pics. My camera is still on it's "vacation" with a friend lol! DaVinci got pants, a scarf, a belt/cincher and a lala loopsie 'robot' dolly! He really likes the doll. It's just like him! I couldn't get a good photo of the accessories for the robot doll, but once my camera comes back I'll make a small photo shoot! (tumblr: http://ciimoorebjd.tumblr.com) Thank you Imoto~!
Here is my gift package!! I loved everything in it, no one was around to hear me skree in glee. Look, look! A card all for meeeeeeeee. Maybe if I crouch, I can read it better... Or maybe from this angle...? OK, card's read, I wanna see what's in the BOX! A HAT! IT'S A HAT!!! ... there's MORE!? SO CUUUUTE LOOK LOOK HOW CUTE IT LOOKS ON ME LOOOOK EVEN STOCKINGS AAAHHHH AND A BROOM I CAN STIR POTIONS WITH (Lena, I don't think you're supposed to use the broom like that...) Continued in post 2...!
Ta daaaa!! Aren't I so cute. I got ALL THE THINGS! Potions, a cauldron, a new bed and pillow, a glowy orb, even A NEW MINION... (And obligatory cat-in-box post. His name is Oggy.) I freaking loved EVERYTHING. It was all incredibly awesome, so a huge thank you to my swap partner steampunker The only thing I have to fix is the stockings into leggings! They are the PERFECT size, except Lena's stupid cat feet are twice the size of a normal person's foot (which I didn't account for ), so they just end up pulling the leggings down to the point of what my husband likes to call "easy access". Oh my. I seriously loved this gift set so much. A huuuge thank you thrice over.
Sorry for the less-than-stellar photos, I was in a hurry, but here's Silas and the lovely new goodies that Steamwitch so kindly angeled for him It is all much nicer in person! Everything you see in these pics is what we got. Thankyou again Steamwitch!
Sorry for the quality, my camera isn't the best... but here's what we got in the swap! Zasshu's outfit ... is a mummy! It's so adorable! It even came with the socks he's wearing! The costume came along with a lovely note, and some amazing chocolate! I'm so excited to try it, I'm sure it's going to be amazing! Thank you so much! Zasshu loves his outfit, it's super comfy and adorable!
