Group costumes on Commercial Street before the start of the 2015 Carnival Parade whose theme was Candyland. These were some of the best costumes since the parade was shorter this year.
The ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz. They were originally silver but were dyed to "show off" the new invention of Technicolor.
You can never have too many pairs of shoes! All wardrobes should include a magical pair such as Ruby Slippers to take you to OZ and of course those fabulous pink ballet pumps for partying the night away, go on ... ‘Put on your dancing shoes!’
These socks were knit from my own pattern, which I really don't consider a complete success. I was trying to design something that would work well with handpainted yarns, but I didn't really achieve my desired effect. The stitch pattern I used (I thought it was "Checkered Acre" from Barbara Walker's first stitch dictionary, but upon closer inspection, it's not, so I don't know what the stitch pattern is, except something that I jumbled up) is highly textured. For this reason, I kept the patterning on the leg only, and went with a 3x3 ribbing on the foot. Otherwise, I think the socks would have been terribly uncomfortable in shoes.

This little girl likes to dress up - here she is dressed as Dorothy (note Toto in the picnic basket)
I wanted to talk to her, but then some weirdo in a prom dress floated up in a glass bubble and monopolized the conversation.
These dazzling replicas of the red shoes pictured here were created by Roxann Riskin. Also featured are framed limited-edition US postage stamps, one called The Inspirations of Oz Fine Art Collection and the other The Ruby Slipper Collection. Proceeds for the purchase of these stamps go to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.

My stuffies all decked out for Halloween! Too cute... From left to right, Ru (pronounced "Roo") as an Army Soldier, Cleo as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (complete with Toto in basket and ruby slippers lol), and Raja as Tigger, hoo-hoo!!! lol.

a very Strange happening in the window in Ellicott City... The bubble man next door helped. Bubble moved a la Photoshop for composition sake....The rest left as it was.
We had a (late) fancy dress competition in the office this Hallowe'en. It was a good laugh and there are shedloads more pictures, including the whole set of "official" photos on Will Howat's Flickr account.
