I plan to dress up as the Four Living Creatures for Halloween. Suggestions for my costume?

Question

The Four Living Creatures are heavenly beings described in Ezekiel 1 and in the Book of Revelation. They have four heads--a lion, a bull/ox, a man/human being, and an eagle. They have wings, and they have eyes all over their bodies.

I'm open to suggestions about how to do this costume. Let's hear what ideas you have!

Get three masks (eagle, lion, bull) and stitch them together but hang them over your head, and fill them with something so they don't just get flat.  Then get a cape and bedazzle it with wing pattern, and get a used shirt and cover it with eyes.

I'm confused.  I think you are referring to Revelation's four living beings, which are a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle.

Ezekiel's four living creatures are a man, a lion, a cherub, and an eagle.

If it makes a difference, Ezekiel's vision came first.  But there was no ox.

? · Answer

Attach the lion and the ox to one shoulder, the eagle to the other so your head is somewhere in the center. Eron has a great idea, but if your face/head were a part of it, I think it'd look more even. Use a ton of safety pins.

Get the masks on Amazon.

Then drape a white sheet over your head and if you don't have a beard, draw one on or buy a cheap beard as well or wear a Moses type costume. Edit (I love Amazon for cheap stuff like this). An example - this could be easy to make, as well.
