Because we were out of male mannequins, we had to turn the Tin Woodsman into a female character. This character strayed most dramatically from our first drawing. Originally, we had wanted a techno-clubber in liquid silver pants and a silver mesh top with a tinsel wig. When we couldn't acquire any of the supplies we needed, we had to get creative. The drawings on the right of the sample show how we re-imagined the character. Maureen designed and sewed the newly designed outfit from silver lame, and Kris invented the curly wig and mask combo using a blank mask, several of those curly ribbons for presents, and a small funnel that we spray painted black. We decided to accent our Tin Woodswoman by using a charm bracelet with silver, black, white, and red charms in the shape of hearts; a heart made of bindi stickers around her belly button; and a fake heart in a jar.
