To create a costume and to wear one such as the "Sea Dragon;" was such fun!  Halloween was filled with admiration over my head piece.  I usually create a dragon costume and wear it out to test its durability.  Mardi Gras marching takes a lot out of you; epically since you walk a considerable distance from one point to your final detestation.  However, the most difficult part is how people have this urge to touch your costume and pull on it.  Instead of seeing art with one sense, they feel the need to reach out with touching.  Hmm, maybe I should incorporate smell in some way?  Just no way would I add taste because that would turn into many "That's what she/he said!"  There is joy I feel when making a piece and provokes people to imagine and for that moment in time they pause and recall their dreams as children.  It is always a good feeling to know that, as an artist, I managed to bring an art piece to life and it does what it was met to do! YES!!!
