| I got a steam punk commission a while ago from my little sister who then told me she wanted to wear it for may expo 2011 on the saturday. So the main feature was the mask the majority of accessories were borrowed from me. she wore Dress - family heir loom (from the time when size 13 existed with a 24 inch waist) Pocket Watch - £10 camden market vile of vampyre blood - £5 steam punk stall at october mcm expo 2010 (dress didn't take time to make, but took about half an hour to dress her in) Mask - clock parts - my mum works with clocks and gave me a bunch of old clock parts metal mesh - dad found in his shed super glue - 20 pack for £1 in a pound shop in peckham UHU rubber glue - no idea, but it's from a hardware shop. (6 hours ish? something like that, on and off) Hat Hat itself - £1 h&m. butchered it removed the sequinned bow and the tacky veil. Broach - found it in the attic. needed to cover a glue splodge i couldn't remove chain veil - 2 metres of chain, £2.50 from rolls and rems in lewisham. (between 4 and five hours) Fake blood on arm - £1 at halloween from sainsburies or something. foundation over rubber glue - sisters own spirit gum - £5.99 from screen face spirit gum remover (sensitive) - £8 from screen face the arm piece took about 3 or 4 hours, then adding the colour and stuff took another half hour, and application took roughly half an hour (mainly because it was modelled on my arm... which is apparently a completely different shape to hers) mask no longer exists as my sister didn't understand the remover for the spirit gum and tore it off her face piece by piece (ouch!) She lost the hat (and a china doll that almost completely matched her costume) on the train back (wasn't pleased because the veil on that hat took 4 hours, and the doll was antique) The arm piece is still around but I'm not sure when I'll get to use it again. I got so hyped about this costume, and i really enjoyed making the mask little hint, don't talk on the phone when working with superglue... I may have glued my hand to my face several times :P | |
