Lorraine underwood put together a “dark, scary cloud” that brings the spooky storm. We really dig the hand drawn design below – via hackster.io
It’s Halloween time and I’ve decided to make myself a costume.
I needed one that wouldn’t limit my movement, vision or be too hot to wear – my two year old still has a lemming sense of direction and needs to be rescued and picked up several times in just one hour.
So I thought of a costume I could hold… a balloon maybe… a cloud balloon.. a cloud balloon with flashing lightening??
I did a quick Google search and found Glowy Zoey’s fantastic toddler in a cloud with real rain costume: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve9fYIcbou0 which made me think this could look really cool.
