I enjoy making masks, so when my friend asked me to make her a tropical fish mask, I thought “wouldn’t an angler fish be cooler?” so while I used bright shinny fabric for hers, I used stretched deer leather over a wire frame for mine.
The teeth on the angler fish costume are made from translucent sculpty and the end of the lure lights up as well. My favorite thing about this costume is that I’m a girl and a lot of people are surprised to here my voice coming out of this big scary thing. I love it.
I love the teeth…did you make holes through them somehow to ‘sew’ them down, or use some type of glue or a wire stuck inside them??
This is the most amazing thing I ever seen in my whole life! I have an “obsession” with anglerfish. you’re my new inspiration.
I really wanted to make an angler fish costume for this Halloween, but hadn’t really decided how it was going to be. Yours has given me the perfect idea. I’m really glad I found it; it’s simply astonishing.
I have always wanted to be an angler fish. sometimes i fill up my bath tub and just lay in it pretending to be one, I bet you do that in your costume huh? i totaly would!!
