Clothing, Masks, and Attire: What Are YOU Wearing, Darlings?!

http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/af255/fellea/RDI%20Thingys/Samhain%20Scraps/woodland_creature_by_rocketrescue.jpg

...a series of leather masks. While in a myriad of shapes that ranged between leaves and various faces found in the wild or on the farm, all of them, expertly crafted as they were, were quite devoid of depth and character. Taking one to hand, however, would bring their smooth leather surfaces to life with a series of cleverly tooled patterns and features; it was almost as if each mask were a blank slate simply waiting for the influence of a soul to color it. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________

For Lilliana, there was no other recourse than to take what comforts and lovely colors she could from her expansive wardrobe. Skirts, shawls, scarves, and shinies aplenty, the buxom beaut had just the bits and baubles to pull together in time. Practicality played a small part; there was temperature to consider, surely, but she required enough freedom in the frocks she chose for dancing. Aside from that, inspiration came from the season, of course, but the true reasoning for her colors she took from way the sunset's light struck the intricate little patterns in the under-bust corset she'd only just finished. A crown of flowers here, a stitch to a pulled thread there, and she was all but ready!

When it came time to take up a mask, well, let's just say the gypsy chose the simpler route and opted for a leaf. No sense in seeing what sort of creature she'd turn into, should she have picked up and animal mask! Magic did as it was wont to do, which unfortunately, sometimes, was to confuse as much as it cleared up. Please with the shade of red her oak leaf took, she gave her cheeks a healthy pinch.

Tag was a quiet person, but with a little black and white makeup he could be something else. He could be bones, something exposed. With a black hoodie and pants, he was the modern retelling of Diaz Los Muertos.

In what was now a tradition, he was a skeleton alongside Madison with the occasional pop of color from when they ate a bright green apple layers over with caramel.

During Samhain, seen out the corner of ones eye, could be seen a shadowy figure. While the figure would, eventually, unhood herself she did leave it to question who this person was. With white clouded eyes and a painted face under the hood, it might take a person a bit of time to realize who it was!

A lover's curse obscures her fate. Vainly, men seek her footprints. But The White Doe eludes capture.

Black as pitch, a singled out avian from the Murder, marked as a scarlet letter from a scarlet mouth. Shadows avoided her; she had enough stored in her eyes.

The past few months had been a significant time of transition, transformation and rebirth for Josie, so she could think of no better choice than the Butterfly for her costume and mask.

She was barely recognizable with the haunting skeleton face makeup, if not for those luscious golden curls. Duci considered graying them out, but that seemed too tedious for her.

A candle in the window to guide you home. The cheery blaze in the hearth to warm your bones. The white hot burn in the belly of the forge to shape and strengthen. The roaring inferno bent on gleefully turning the world to ash. Fire heals and creates and destroys.
