Gaara from Naruto	Kumori Con 2004	6/04	8/04	Group skit won Judge's Choice at Kumori Con 2004	Clothing- 2/10; Gourd- 9/10; Sandals- 7/10

Construction: Bought a black t-shirt. Bought fishnet tights and altered them. Bought black pants. For the gourd, I used paper mache over
baloons. For the Sandals... Well.. I bought a pair of sandals that has the velcro straps by the toes and ankles.
Black ones, obviously. I hot-glued 6mm foam to them, so they'll have the shape of the sandals/boots w/o toes. Then I
covered the foam in black fabric. They fell apart after the first con. I haven't yet redone them, and I don't know if I
will. I may just do ghetto sandals.
