Outfit #11: Lords Of Salem


For this outfit, Tanner is dressed as a tribute to Sherri Moon Zombie's character, Heidi, in the Rob Zombie film "The Lords Of Salem". Her "sweater" is actually white felt with black marker to add an "aged" look to it. Her boots are made of soda tabs, red duct tape, and embroidery floss. 


Another shot of Tanner in the Heidi outfit. 


The Salem mask is the exclamation point for the piece. It consists of papier-mâché over a wire base and was completed over the timespan of several hours. 


Primary stage of the mask: wire frame.

Secondary stage of the mask, now drying.

Outfit #10: Prom Queen


For this outfit, I primarily used nylon sequin fabric for the bodice and stitched it up in the back to cinch it for an appropriate fit. 


The skirt is made of tulle and was taken from another Blythe outfit and stitched up. 


The earrings were copper wire twisted into the earlobe "piercing" and accentuated with a plastic star bead that went with the color scheme. 


The plastic crown was the only item not made by hand. 


Tanner's "glass slippers" are made of plastic beads and shrink plastic, held together with hot glue. 

Everything but the crown was handmade for this outfit.
