Who is that masked woman? - danger - pic heavy post

So, I have been freaking out about how much I still have to get done. So after starting a big batch of soup for my lunches this week, I threw the fabric for my masquerade outfit in the washing machine, and went back to get all the stuff I need to make my mask. I decided to make my own with impregnated gauze because 1) I apparently have a big head ( Read more... )

phoenix, mask, make, gauze, plaster

AFter it's dry, I can take a craft knife and fine tune it a bit, make the beak more pointy and curved down. I have that GOF coloring book that has a good headshot of fawkes on the cover, that's what I'm using as a model...

That IS awesome! You go, girl!

Thanks! I can't emphasize any more strongly to use vaseline around the hairline. I will NEVER skip that step again. lol

I had a full face done in school...I think it was before we lived on Ave. C. Anyway, yeah, Vaseline is very important. I still have it my mold, and though it was pretty good on the hairline, there are still a few eyelashes in there. Ouch!

yeah, we did it in stage makeup class... the mask was the only project I really did well on in there, Greg used to joke that he was going to have to start a remedial makeup class for me. lol

And it really holds up once it's painted. The one I made in college just broke a couple of yearws ago when it was dropped. The only thing that worries me is the weight... and keeping it on the stick. I told Ken I might need his help with that part.

this stuff is so easy to use, and you can make props with it too, and pinatas, and all sorts of things.. cleans up easy too

Julia,
that is so cool. What an excellent idea. I can't wait to see the finished outfit. Let me know if you need any help. Need to design any jewelry????????? Anyway, you're doing a great job.

Thanks! Hmmmm, I actually did buy some nice assorted green glass beads, so I might take you up on some zodico jewelry. I bought some earrings with the clasp that I like so I could make some. I didn't get a chain for bracelet or necklace, though i intended to. So I'll still need to get that and maybe I can give you all the supplies if I see you Saturday.
