Okay!
I can call the costume complete, if I have to…
I finished the loincloth, which I think can even be worn on the belt over top of my utilikilt or leather pants for a nice finishing touch. (Parties in the middle of the month will likely not allow such nudity…)
I also finished the touches for the add-ons to my harness. I even studded the shoulder pieces and loincloth. The loincloth got some left-over fur trimming…
I like this kind of costume. I did something similar when camping for Guise and Ghouls back in Phoenix. Similar in that the costume has over a dozen pieces to it and yet – except for the cloak – I was still mostly nekkid. Heheheh…
Me likey.
So, the parts list for the horned-god:
horns/circlet – check
harness with studded shoulder caps – check
belt with studded loincloth – check
Wescos – double check
fur & feather trims for boot shafts – check
fur and feather edged faux snake-skin cloak – check
(with fox head clasp…)
beaded 7′ shaman’s juju stick – check
I think I am good to go…
If I feel masochistic enough throughout the remainder of the month, I can always bead some detailing onto the cloak. I have debated that for some time. The biggest hindrance is that the cloak is already lined, meaning I would have to top stitch the outer fabric without picking up the lining. Oh, bother! And with a full circular cloak hem to trim, I would be at it much longer than the hem of one of Laura Bennet’s cocktail dresses…
