Are you going to Narnia?...

We just went and it was wonderful! Saturday all the young people in our church hosted a Narnia night! Not only was it a costume contest, but we wanted every one to enter into the world of Narnia when they entered the building. This project began about a month ago... Building and designing sets, creating the most unique costumes and teaching people who never sew, how to sew! 

Every costume was thought thru with much detail. We studied the type of character C.S. Lewis portrayed and tried to copy the Pauline Baines drawings. The. We added a bit of flare. From little mice to fat Giants, every costume was extremely unique, and the person that wore them, was from a whole other world. 

If any of you are familiar with Narnia, you will see that we have a set from every book... We wanted to make this something that all the children would never forget! From he beavers dam, to the dawn treader, to a narnian feast! It was a true narnian party. Everyone who helped put it together really had the most fun! 

 Here are a few pictures showing the building of sets... And creating costumes...
