She is my crowning glory

My girl, Lily, loves "Wicked."

She knows every song from the broadway play.

She will belt them out.  Show tunes.  

Who would of thought?

So it wasn't surprising when she wanted

to be Glinda, the good witch, for Halloween. 

Finding a crown and wand that were fitting

for our Glinda was a task.  

When they can't be bought,

they must be made!  

Here are the details:

The gown I wore to my Senior Prom in 1988.

Really! 

The crown was made using leftover screen. 

It was easily cut and shaped.  Very sturdy, too.

Masking tape was used to trim it so there were

no sharp edges to harm our Glinda. 

I sprayed lots of silver glitter Krylon on the crown

 to make it shimmer (and hide the tape). 

3-D snowflake stickers were added to the tips of the crown.

The wand was made from a large wooden star shape

supplied by my friend, Kelly, of Babiole de Windsor,

and very large dowel. Then lots more silver glitter

 Krylon to make it sparkle. 

Doesn't Lily make a splendid Glinda?  

Then again, she could be a Ninja....

This was her costume on Saturday night because I didn't have Glinda done yet.

She is a girl of many personalities.
