A little while ago my daughter got the ultimate party invitation, Dr Who, FANCY DRESS!!
Before I knew it, I was talked into making the ultimate Weeping Angel costume by darling daughter, who had ambitions for it to look like "The Real Thing".
My daughter is a perfectionist, and loves to give us a challenge, and with my sewing / craft skills, and Louise on face paints, we decided to go to town. I started by making a simple grey robe, using lots of gathering and many safety pins, then it was time to make a start on some face paints!
Louise is an expert face painter, having worked in the theatre for years she also has an eye for the dramatic, and after a few minutes we had a rather terrifying Weeping Angel on our hands! All we had to add were some cardboard wings made from a handy Amazon box, and voila:
I'm not sure if the other kids at the party knew what hit them! My darling daughter was delighted, though I may have now set the bar a little high for next time....
