If you’ve been reading my blog, you know that I helped a friend out with some costumes on late notice for a high school production of “Young Frankenstein”. One of the “quick and dirty” costumes I made for her (think less than 2 hours total) was the costume for the Monster. I don’t have a…
And here we are . . . on the last of seven variations on a theme. This post is a little sketchy–so if this is the first one you are reading, and it seems like I am skipping a few steps, I suggest you could look at the previous posts in this series. Not only…
