Hamlet Costumes

My first venture into Costume design.
I designed and made/sourced all the costumes, which included 7 sets of green scrubs, a stab-able bra for a man, a ghost clown costume with a removable arm and 5 glam-rock-sci-fi-hospital-insipred band costumes. 
The photos aren't great but here are some to give you an idea

I made this for a friend's birthday.

French Horn Soft Toy!

I made this for a friend's 21st, it is made out of felt without a pattern and took FOREVER! It is about the same size as a real french horn.

This is what happens when I am on holidays with nothing else to entertain me. I think she liked it though!
