Location: Hilton Hotel, Melbourne
Won Master Costumer at Mini Animania Melbourne, 2011
Given that this is the photo that got Mon and I into this year's Animania Calendar Competition...I figured I should *probably* put it up online! XD;
I've always loved the Sandplay designs, and how elegant they are...and then came along Gumi, who looked like a lost salsa dancer that collided with the bird-cast of Rio. I wanted to make it when I saw it, but these things don't always happen just because you want them to. HOWEVER, when I was cleaning out all my fabric and trims, I found that I had nearly everything to make this outfit. Lucky!
With that in mind, I didn't end up spending very much on this costume at all, which makes me sooo happy. It was really enjoyable to create, and the kind of outfit that I like working on. =3
The shoot that we had with this was also wonderful! I love shooting with Mon, and Biccy was such a wonder to come along and help on such short notice. The staff at the Hilton were so wonderful and accomodating, and I think everything really went together well! 8D
