Diana, The Goddess Of The Moon

This years Halloween outfit was inspired by The Goddess Diana. She is the Roman Goddess of The Moon, The Forest, Witchcraft, hunting and fertility. Minus the hunting part, to me she is pretty much perfect. She can talk to animals (the Snow White of the Goddess world) and is mostly associated with Cats, Stag's and Bears, what a babe.

Diana is always depicted with a bow (it is said that her arrows are associated with Moon beams) and a Cresent moon headdress. As I am already an archer (in the Sagittarius sense) all that was missing was my Moon Headdress.

 

I already had the Silver hat so I embroidered pearls onto the front to create my Cresent Moon and then added the Star brooch.  The Lightning Bolt cape was an early Birthday present from Craig (dreamboat Bowers strikes again).  The embroidery details on the cape deserve a whole post of their own, so so beautiful! 

All photo's taken by Craig in our living room. 

I spent Halloween celebrating my Friend Hannah's Birthday. She is an incredibly talented illustrator and has just started doing her Masters at The RCA. You can see her work here.
