author project - costume

We got given a project in which we had to define our 5 primary needs and then design a costume around them; i chose dogs, tv, mints, reading and breakfast. I decided to create a brain costume, as it sort of involves all of our primary needs, especially reading.

I constructed the base of it out of chicken wire:

Then created the brainy bits out of stuffed tights. The idea of it was that the wearer would sit inside it, and the creature moves along on a skateboard.
