Tribal-inspired "Beer-belly" Dancer
Back to contest entries
Wanted to share my costume made from found and "upcycled" materials. I created my turkish-style vest and belt, like most of my ren faire garb, mostly out of tabistry (soda and beer can pull tabs) and other discarded items.
The gloves are cut off socks, hair is acrylic yarn, tassels are poly rope, black pouch is old wool sweater, and 99.9% of my accessories, including the yarn, clothing pieces, jewelry , even the "third eye" headband which used to be a belt, all came from thrift stores, flea markets and garage sales.
I also made a matching mask using tabs, used t-shirt strips and plastic bags here:

And, a cloak made from tabs and blankets here:

Thanks for looking. Hope you had an awesome Halloween!
