Pumpkinhead Masks 2015 - 1

Description

This year's tweaks to the pumpkinhead masks: I've fancied up my hat a bit, and swapped in a new one for Rachel as well.  The bandannas around her hatband and underneath mine cover up the tacks used to hold them on; in my case, I happened to get a hold of another hat in the style of my purple one that was sadly a bit folded and spindled and I could not get to reclaim its old shape, so I cut away almost all of the brim and tacked it into place so that my hat sits atop it rather than being pinned down itself, lending it more freedom to move.  The biggest change here is in the eyes, though; I purchased a no-face one-way mirror mask and cut it up, placing pieces behind my eyes and Rachel's eyes and eyebrows to allow us to see out without being seen.  A few pieces of gauze are in front to better mask the presence of the lenses, while the gauze over the mouths and noses is thicker, so that we cannot be seen. Previously the gauze in my mask was quite thick, and I could not be seen but had difficult seeing, while Rachel's was thinner to allow her better sight but at certain angles, especially in direct sunlight, she was visible.  I also used an exacto-knife to add slits into the gauze to allow it to better vent; this worked for Rachel, but I wound up overheating and fogging up, so next year I will need to add more venting to mine, since I tend to get more active often.  I spent much of the parade virtually blind, but somehow muddled through and even managed to keep cavorting and dancing.
