2008-11-17T09:09:46Z

so the method i'm basically going to use is the one that involves building forms to augment the shape of the leg and covering those in furry stuff
but i can't find a consisten explanation/tutorial/what have you that explains the process
if anyone has one, or has done it before, any info would be nice :) thanks!

also -- the hooves -- do you use wood?

Witch's Hat pattern?

2008-10-17T20:58:42Z

Does anyone know of a good Witch's Hat pattern. I want to do something along the lines of Profesor McGonagall's green velvet, the hats from the end of 'Practical Magic', and Elphaba's hat. Clasic, elegant and way over the top. I'm sure I can start with wire and sizing and experiment till I get it right, but having a good pattern would be a help.

creating a DRAGON MASCOT costume....

2008-09-03T01:29:36Z

Hello from the fertile crescent of the Bay Area. I and a couple other ladies are creating a dragon mascot for Windrush school. It's based on a Dickies zip-up worksuit and the headpiece is welded. Neither of these have been covered yet. The dragon is soon to grow its "skin" in the form of felt cut into scales which will be machine sewed on one by one. The headpiece will most likely be papier mache.... but could also be glued on fabric?

Any helpful opinions on 1) ventilation for the wearer 2) tips on good glues and supplies 3) piecing the headpiece and body together in a natural way.

Awesomeness. Dragons are obsession-worthy.

Costumes and Costume Designers?

2008-02-13T20:17:48Z

Hi Everyone.

I am on the hunt for some fantasy-tribal costume gear for both Labyrinth of Jareth and Burning Man. I'm having a hard time finding stuff I really like and would appreciate any input or suggestions.

I am willing to do what it takes to get something I really enjoy and vibe with. But I'm also on the lookout for accessories I can use in piecing together some of my own costumes.

I live near Los Angeles.

Thanks.

Animal digitrade legs...Sphinx costume!

2007-06-21T03:48:20Z

Hello, I've been wanting to create a Grecian Sphinx costume for a long time now, and while it's still going to be a while before I'm able to create it, I'd still like to work on figuring out how to make it. And for those of you who don't have a clue as to what I'm talking about, a Grecian Sphinx is much like an Egyptian one, only Female. The top half of this creature is that of a woman, the bottom half is that of a lioness, and to boot, this creature has LARGE eagle-like wings on it's back. The forearms may or may not be furry, but that's just personal preference, I believe.

My question is how to make the legs look realistically like a large lion standing/walking on it's hindlegs and have the tail swing from side to side while the outfit is in motion. I've looked in Furry costume communities on LiveJournal.com as well as just doing searches, but I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. I want to be able to walk in a normal gait, but have the effect of me looking like I'm walking as a cat on it's hindlegs might while wearing this costume.

So far I've seen alot about foam being used to mimic the look of the legs, but I've also got concerns about the feet -I want actual toes with nails, and hard pads on the soles, to mimic the pads on the underside of a cat's foot. And I'm wanting more height than my standard 5'4". -I've thought about investing in some strong platform boots but then removing the heel so I'm only walking on the toes of the boot...not sure if this would stand up well though to constant use. Plus, I need some comfort at least as I could be in this costume up to 10 or more hours at a time.

I'm also concerned about how to find realistic looking, but fake, lion fur. A nice short, golden tan would be perfect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking at doing this myself as I can't afford to hire anyone else to do it for me.

I want the waist of this outfit to be kind of low...under the belly button, but not 'dangerously' low. I'm wanting it to look kind of jagged...not a straight line, like I were wearing pants, but make it look believable. -Does that make sense?

So far I've pretty much figured I'll have to get some thick lycra leggings (want the fabric to last quite a while), then attach either snaps or velcro all along the leggings and to the foam so that I can detach the foam and fur suit from the leggings for machine washing. The fur would be glued and or sewn to the foam -the foam would be carved into appropriate shapes to make the thighs and back of the legs curved the way cat's legs naturally are.
The boots would be detachable as well, but have, again, snaps or velcro to attach the fur to the boots. I'm thinking that maybe it would be best to carve the pad shapes into the bottom of the boots..but not sure how that would look.
I'm not wanting the fur-pant-suit to be baggy or bulky. I want it to be tight, but comfortable.

While I may sound as though I've got this figured out, I truely don't...very lost.
Any suggestions or ideas? Even links to other sites for reference?

Thanks so much!!

Persephone Costume

2007-01-05T13:21:12Z

I would like to honor the Queen of the Underworld (some of the year) this month of October. I have some ideas of the elements that represent Persephone for me. Still, I'm lacking in a main idea and some accessory ideas.

I would love to have any creative or non-creative suggestions you may have?

New tribe forming

2006-07-06T22:15:10Z

I'd like to invite you to a place called "The Realm of Skatha."

This is a land where we hope to meet with fellow travelers in the form of musicians, dancers, theatrical designers, mask makers, costuming folks, web gurus and other creative types who want to become involved in, make suggestions on and to create a magickal spectacle for the senses which we will launch on an unsuspecting public.

Our interests are wide, encompassing Medieval, Middle Eastern, Celtic and Contemporary music and dance, theatre, multi-media and more.

Join our tribe, introduce yourself and begin creating what we hope will develop into a spectacular adventure in performance.
Pay us a visit at http://tribes.tribe.net/skatha

At the heart of Skatha right now are Medieval Bagpipes and Percussion - we hope to add more colors to our palette very soon.

Enjoy the journey ...

Recipe for body paint?

2005-07-30T02:15:21Z

For the past two years, I have enjoyed painting myself green at one of the BM camps - am told they were Sporosite - but am now hearing that they will not be back this year. I am considering trying to recreate their setup myself, but remember one of the camp members saying they added something to their food coloring-based body paint to make it cover better. Zinc oxide maybe? Something like that. Does anyone know the recipe? Does anyone know anyone who might know? We are getting oh so delightfully close, but many of my costumes just won't be the same without the green.

Thanks!
