Crazy person wearing costume view:
'Natural' view:
The costume is made from two inch thick foam, covered in a wool/viscose blend and cotton. The main pieces are the carapace (body), legs, claws, and the tail piece. For the finishing touches, I added detailing to the claws and carapace, but I didn't get photos of that. Also, the wearer is supposed to have a black shirt and tight black leggings...and I'm wearing...not that. And I put it on sloppily! Terrible! So I'm hoping to get some better photos of the next costume!
So, now I have to make costume number two! Yay!
In other news, I went on a massive 25 mile hike over some big ol' hills, for a Heart Foundation charity. It was lots of fun and I took Tasha as well. I didn't have a camera, so no photos, but you can read a bit about the hike route here: http://www.walkingenglishman.com/dales1.htm There was lots of running and mud involved, so overall a good experience. Now my legs are very very sore, but only the muscles it seems, which is good news!

Finally! Now we can all gawk at your life's work. It looks great, and I can't wait to see some zoo intern running around in it scaring wee children.
WOAHACSDF! NICE! I highly approve of this and will take 800 orders for my new Crawfish Navy Invasion Force.
