Slain Founder
The female Founder was fond of reminding Odo that"he was the only changeling to harm another", and for that crime, Odo's power was stripped away, forcing him to become a solid. From Deep Space Nine's third season episode "The Adversary", this piece is that of Odo's fatally wounded Founder nemesis masquerading as Ambassador Krajensky. The costume consists of a standard Founder outfit (bodysuit, shoes, and gown) with the addition of vast amounts of sculpted and textured latex applied over the upper two thirds. On screen, only the upper half was visible as the lower half was covered in CGI changeling goo. As an Odo fan, I find this piece to be a significant part of his history.

a non-commercial collector of Star Trek costumes. I have been collecting since Christie's held the now-historic 40th anniversay auction, and I'm afraid to say, there is no end in sight. I collect on many different levels: love of the character, passion for the design of the costume, and an amazement at the materials and workmanship involved in the creation of such magnificent pieces of "art". I find that I am constantly drawn to the costumes from Star Trek Deep Space Nine since that series holds the most interest for me, but my collection represents most of the various series and films.
