Our second character was the Scarecrow. He was the only character who remained male, mainly because we only had one male mannequin. In keeping with our Gothic theme, the Scarecrow became more like "The Crow" (Brandon Lee movie, 1994). Kris painted a blank mask to look like Eric Draven from the movie and designed and constructed the chain necklace that has a variety of bird-themed charms on it. Maureen took a fabulous pair of pants that our mom brought us as a joke, and cut the pant legs, grommeted, and laced them back together. The crow applique was cut out of red felt and added by using heat bond. Maureen repeated the grommeting and lacing process for the sleeves of the shirt, and Kris added the wings with paint and the white cross applique. The tie and hat came off the racks, and the boots were borrowed from Kris's boyfriend, Erik. A fake brain in a jar completed the "Scarecrow's" outfit.
