~ the CROW Costume Contest... . .

with an October window to install...

in between the fall Tarts...

i chose a few crows to line up in the window

for a bit of drama...
painted on my favorite crepe paper for the backdrop...
done.
right~*

Well... .

of course, it started out

 quite innocently with a rather 'plain' crow...

and just thinking that they needed a little something

so the first one got a simple fabric twist adornment

and then the black & white papers

and the scissors
and the little pins

starting finding their way to the design table...

they had such a natural stance,

such grace,

such presence... .
( and such wisdom, that of course,
they would never tell.... )

~ with all of them

just milling about

in their little outfits...

i just had to give them numbers

for a bit of a costume parade of sorts

... and the costume contest was born.

~ so... .   .
