Fish Walker by Kathy Garvey

Pieces of 8 member Kathy Garvey has so many unique talents that I am no longer surprised when she comes up with one I didn't know about. She created this Halloween costume that is so whimsical and full of detail that it takes a while to look at each one. She calls it "Fish Walker" and it is inspired by the beautiful books of James Christensen (below). It is just sitting on a chair in this picture, but imagine how it must look with a person in it! Best costume ever.

While in San Miguel de Allende I got to witness a big Aztec festival, with scores of people in bright costumes and huge feather headdresses. They were dancing in the streets, celebrating their conversion to Christianity. So many people dancing in unison, wearing bright colors and glittering outfits presented quite a wonderful sight, but this little girl was my favorite, trying to keep up with the grownups.

Here are some of the adults in their costumes. I was so lucky to be town that day!
