zombie boy and girl scout (img obsese!)

[creepyhugger]

well, this was the first time we've dressed up for halloween in forever!  so we had a lot of fun with the special effects.  i made the skirt and sash, and sewed on authentic badges found at a thrift store.

comments appreciated!

Love, love, love you guys. Normally not such a fan of couple costumes, but zombie scouts works.
I don't know if you'll be dressing up again but have you thought about the boy scout having burn scars? Because boy scouts learn how to play with fire and make knots- girls scouts learn to make jam pies over a fire that has been carefully set out for them.

awesome work! Can I ask how you did the gel wound on the back of your hand?

[skarinja]

All the blood looks so real! How'd you do it?

[creepyhugger]

the wound on the back of my hand was made by mixing equal parts unflavored gelatin and water, then smearing the paste on my hand and letting it dry.  then i applied makeup, and finally painted on some "thick blood" from ben nye brand makeup.  we used a combination of three different fake bloods in order to get the most realistic effects.  the best one, overall was the "thick blood" which can also be thinned out with water to make it drip, etc.
