I’ll put wings on my list of future laser thursday projects!
I love the dimensionality you got from the Taskboard and layers! The chains and leather fix are great touches as well.
Count me in on team wings-out-of-coathanger-wire, albeit 15 years ago.
You must have been a very interesting kid, growing up.
15 years ago I wasn’t a kid. It was a project for a friend who was going to Burning Man.
I stand by my statement. In my experience people who do interesting things as adults were probably doing interesting things as kids.
I continue to nurture, and cherish, the child in me that overrides adult logic and allows me to buy things like a GF!
Hahaha!
Yes, if you ever grow up all the way, something has been lost.
Lovely project and well done! I am curious about the Taskboard properties. what happens if your finished mask gets wet? I’ve seen other materials that can be molded with heat, but if they get hot again, they lose the molded shape. In a part of the world with exceptionally high heat and lots of humidity and rain, I wonder if costume parts will degrade with sweat and heat the way my temporary hair dye did. (Rivulets of bright blue running down your neck from your hair don’t exactly “make” the look - LOL!)
Heheh, Rough on the pillows too…
A quick trip to the shower took the color right out, but I’d hate to have something structural in a costume give way.
Great question. We wondered outside at one point and it had started to rain, I panicked and told everyone dramatically that “I’m melting” and ran back inside to a chorus of wicked witch jokes. I’ll find some scrap task board and check this out for you. I bet that it will absolutely deform again. I wonder if a fixative spray or something waterproofing would help - task board certainly takes sprays really really well.
A quick dry spray sealing coat would absolutely help.
Hairspray peeps…nuff said.
I currently have neon green and blue permanant color hair…when I first get it done and for the next week or so, I try very hard not to sweat because the color DOES drip down…lol
Coat it in several coats of shellac or polyurethan maybe?
Yeah, definitely. Can confirm, if wet again it becomes equally pliable as the first time.
Wow.
On you hair?
