    It’s October already!
    My theme for this month is COSTUMES
    There are so many reference photos in the RIL and pixabay that I had difficulty choosing what I should post. You are welcome to choose your own references or combine, crop and change these pics.
    Here are some ideas
    Masks

    A scarecrow for the landscapers

    Bathing costumes – for this challenge, let’s stick to the old fashioned ones:lol:
    A old diver suit

    Theatre

    Traditional dress

    Historic

    Fantasy

    Have fun!

                            ooo, this looks like fun! Costumes, masks, fantasy… great set of refs here, Christel.

                            I love your Charlie Chaplin! Looks great. I like your interpretation of the beer maidens, as well. Nice way to kick off the challenge!

                                Those are wonderful! You work quickly and well!

                                Charlie’s hair looks very “scrunchy” and the hat is sitting just right.

                                The beer ladies have great details and such happy expressions.

                                I think we have that beer stein! :lol:
