Somehow I’m just now realizing I never took pictures of my Halloween costume, I’m not going to dig it out but I was a Pokemon trainer with my favorite Pokemon (shiny Umbreon) The big one is life size, so 3 ft tall standing (including the ears). And I just made a little one so I can take it with me to the Detective Pikachu movie . And they both light up! Last pic is a size comparison. They were both made using a combination of crochet and needle felting, with el wire to make them glow. The big one also has a wood/wire skeleton to help it keep their shape.
In life man commits himself and draws his own portrait, outside of which there is nothing. No doubt this thought may seem harsh to someone who has not made a success of his life. But on the other hand, it helps people to understand that reality alone counts, and that dreams, expectations and hopes only serve to define a man as a broken dream, aborted hopes, and futile expectations.
