Help me with my raven costume
I need to tap into all the great creativity here on my very talented friend's list!
After finding a beautiful raven mask at Pottery Barn (of all places), I decided to be a raven for Halloween. OK, so I have the mask, which is very elegant with a mass of dyed black coque feathers, black glitter and a little sequins. I also have a black coque feather collar, and I'll probably wear the corset in that photo, too. So...give me some more ideas under $50!! I could get wings, but the event is really crowded, and I fear I'll get sick of spilling everyone's drink/knocking people in the face with them. Alternatives? I did a google search and saw this, so wanted to let you know I've seen this link already, but it didn't show me anything new.
I also found this coque feather trim: http://cgi.ebay.com/Coque-feather-fringe-72-inches-black-irridescent-trim_W0QQitemZ170385100169QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item27abbe4d89&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 What can I do with it? Sew it up the length of my gloves? Something around my shoulders somehow?
Other ideas?
Thanks, everyone!!

The trim on the gloves sounds lovely, but also annoying, and may damage the feathers, as people use their hands a lot, and arms get bumped into. If it's n the cape, you may be able to get use out of the piece in other ways :)
