hey there! I feel like I'm always running 29 days late...
I was a last-minute-axis-deer for halloween, so I threw on a dress I made a few years ago, painted my face (didn't have brown! so I mixed green/red and used eyeshadow to help blend. the eyeshadow made it all sort of gloppy, so I wouldn't recommend it), and crafted up some antlers.
note, holding a felting needle in your mouth is never a particularly good idea!
I needle felted the basic shape with raw merino wool (teeny tiny lanolin-filled locks! would definitely use processed wool if I did this again), wet felted a bit, then more felting with the needle to reinforce thin spots. they weren't as sturdy as I thought they'd be, so I jammed some heavy wire into them and now they're pose-able!
the antlers were very shoddily sewn onto a thick headband. I may tidy it up at some point.
yeah, antlers go with every outfit. ;-)
