Comic Book Heroes
Hawk Girl
This costume was one of
our first forays into using
spandex.  Mandy based
her design on the comic
book version.
The wings were actually angel wings, with seagull
feathers added, and she wore them upside down for a
more dramatic effect.  The boots were red knee-length
boots which were painted with the yellow claws. We
found red, green and red spandex, and then used
gray-silver satin for the accent on the top.  The belt
was yellow leather with a belt buckle Justen made  using
his glue-gun technique
Justen sculpted the helmet and axe head from clay,
cast those in Plaster of Paris, and then filled the molds
with melted glue gun.  He painted them with acrylics
and air-brushed the darker details on the helmet.
