So I went looking for cheap, DIY, crazy Halloween costume ideas and this is what I found.

The instructions to this crazy piece can be found at http://www.instructables.com/id/Burtons-Mad-Hatter-Hat/

I've never been quite this lazy with my costumes, but this might actually be a good idea. Thank you Martha Steward, sometimes even your crafts might be affordable and achievable.

This skirt will also work great for fairy and belly-dance costumes!

Another quirky hat, this time from the amazing Threadbanger episodes. I am definitely trying this one out sometime... I've got tons of random decorations that need some use!

This website has some pictures for some beautiful tiaras! If you want to be a fancy princess or fairy for Halloween this is where its at.

There will be much more costume links and ideas coming your way soon. If you want to be a fairy... check out the fairy post!!

While fineartamerica, devian art, and other official art websites have their followers, I've noticed more and more artist displaying their art on craiglist, advertising that they are local and possibly getting those customers who didn't realize they wanted any artwork. This particular post caught my eye because it was really well executed and displayed the artist's beautiful works.

The artist also discovered ways to add animation to some of the images in the post.

 art work collages such as the ones above can represent the artist far better than just separate paintings.
I'm now inspired to do a better job with my future posts...
