Party, Costumes, Trending on Halloween

It was last month when I join in a new company (this one will be on a separate blog).

Malls and offices have their own Halloween events like costume parties and trick or treat for the kids, sales on costumes, pumpkin baskets, even face paint supplies got sold out!

And they had this announcement of having your best scary costume contest for the halloween party. Tenured employees there said that this is the first time they would be having this kind of event in their office.

And I thought I won"t be able to do any crafting in this new work place.

I decided to be the black angel, since I had this feeling that everyone will turn out into zombies just like in The Walking Dead series.

Just made my black wings with one of my leftover cartoons, then used some of the supplies that I still have from the previous decors that we have used. Lucky me, for I was able to find a black cartolina and crepe paper for my wings. I placed the cartolina for the innner part of the wings, and the cut-out feathers from the crepe paper for the outside part of the wings.  I also used wires to make the wings sturdy. And just colored the masking tape black with a pentel pen. And of course I can't wear the wing without a garter and used some velcro to support the wings from my back.

My second props was my bloody sword, it's made of wood (palo tsina). Got it from our dirty kitchen and carved it into a sword. Went back to my supplies where I still have a silver and gold poster paint which I used to paint the wooden sword. And to make it bloody, I used red poster paint. 

Yes, poster paint is not for wood, but if you are not into spending for just a one day event the poster paint will be just fine. The paint wears off easily with water.

I was just wearing a black spaghetti strap blouse, black skirt and shoes, and used Caronia's Black Velvet Nail Polish.

me, my zombie friend and my angel of death friend.

Did not put on any make-up, just powder, lipstick and eyeliner. A lot of competitors in this office though. Everyone really participated. Who would not like a 1500.00 php for the grand prize? Yes, you might say the prize is not that extravagant, but hey! Anyone can add it up on their savings or allowance, right?

And of course, what is a party without food! 

Not expecting to win this one, but if I could get the consolation prize, it's fine with me.
