Coolest Homemade Kali Costume Idea

I love making costumes and always try to out do myself each year. I picked a Kali Costume Idea, Kali the Hindu goddess of death and destruction as an appropriate pick for Halloween.

The main body cover was made from a leotard from the thrift store, tights and that foam sheet stuff from hobby lobby for the hand skirt with fabric scraps in between. Face and chest were done with Ben Nye costume makeup. The crown from wire , foam core, left over plastic beads, and paint. The hair is pre fab wool falls. The arms I molded from my own arms in plaster. Then casted them in wax. Then re sculpted the wax parts to be joined at the wrists and elbows then molded those.

Finally casted the arm parts in expandable foam so they would be light weight. Painted and attached the arms with fishing line. All the arms were attached to back pack straps and covered with a scarf. This way all the arms moved naturally with my own arms.

Took lots of time and I spent more than I wanted to, but got the response I wanted.
