Liam's Gandolf costume is done. You guys had such fantastic ideas for the beard. I would have put your ideas to use except I had already purchased the materials for making this beard. I am mostly happy with how it turned out. The length and shape (especially the crookedness of it) I think are perfect. The color is off though. I couldn't find and gray or white trim, only brown. Maybe Liam can be a young Gandolf?All is not lost though... the beard has already seen a lot of use. Liam wore it constantly for two days after I made it. And it even looks good on me:
Maybe next Halloween I will be the bearded lady. Totally hot, right? RIGHT?
I'll be posting more pictures of the kids in their costumes soon.

You could always dye it black?
I think the beard came out perfect as well, but the bearded lady thing is crazy talk! You should make yourself a princess dress instead. : )
why wait until next year? just answer your door and run your errands as the bearded lady next week. i would love to see people's expressions.
The beard looks great! What great texture!
i am SO glad you posted that pic of you in the beard! i'm going to think of it every time i see you now!
so what did you make it out of? one of those shaggy yarns?
Wow, that is one fabulous beard. It looks great.
that is amazing!
Maybe you could sprinkle some baby powder on it to make it lighter and older looking?
The beard turned out great! And you should totally be the bearded lady next year ha ha. You've got an entire year to construct an outfit :)
meredith-
i used an upholstery trim. i really can't imagine adding that stuff to a pillow or something but to each his own, right?
jenn bennett- i actually tried the baby powder and it looked a lot better but poor Liam wouldn't put it anywhere near his face after that. i don't blame him, it made me sneeze when I tried it on after that too. I had to wash all the baby powder out. I also used very watered down white fabric paint and with a spray bottle spritzed the beard but that didn't really make a difference!
That beard looks amazing on you :) very creative!
