Bestival 2009

So I've stopped throwing a tantrum about missing Secret Garden for a wedding and have started to get excited about Bestival's Space Costume opportunities.
In a moment of hasty generosity I promised to knit a friend a Clanger costume and am seeking inspiration from 
 and 
Meanwhile the opportunities to enthrall and impress with ROBO MAGIK are many:

Although every picture comes with inbuilt sense of dread, and memories of last year's Jellyfish debacle. Must learn to solder and also to create costumes before actually getting in the van to go. I do wonder how these will hold up in the rain. After partying in the trenches last year I am more sceptical about the appropriateness of knitwear/ cardboard boxes in a Bestival costume.

Oh stuff it, fingers crossed, pray for sun.

Dear random internet type person.

Are you still making Clanger outfits for Bestival?

A whole bunch of friends and I had the same idea.

I haven't a clue how I'll make them yet, but if you make better ones than me, I'll cry.

I just wanted to let you know, you are not alone. I wonder how many others have had the same idea too.

If you find a fantastic way of making them and feel like sharing your blueprints... haha

Bring on Bestival. One week to go!!
