Thread: Help with my general costume, please?

Tweet

You have! I am going to try to do a test run this weekend and am working on my roadkill pet tonight.

I moved the rat to the back of my toilet for now, being sick of scaring myself with it. I figure it can stare at my husband while he is doing his thing for a bit.


I had a very cheap big black cat decoration (you know the puffed ones that tear easily?) with some sparkles on it that I hung on my front porch a week ago. This morning when I went to my car the wind caught it and it swayed/jumped right at me. I screamed bloody murder as I thought it was some guy dressed all in black. Hehe. I scare very easily around Halloween (and not around Halloween). . .I think that is why I like it so much.

Well, I started my roadkill guy tonight. I made it a bit too cutesy and now I feel really bad about what I am about to do-bloody it up and such. Lol. It just looks so sad and helpless.

I chickened out. I just could not do it to the poor guy lol. I am working on the other sleeve now and I will dirty and blood it up BEFORE making little ears and sad little eyeballs tee-hee. I found some liquid latex in a store about two hours from here. Too far for me to drive but I ordered it on Monday night with a 2-4 day estimate. Hopefully luck will be on my side and I will get it Thursday!

w00t! My liquid latex came TODAY! It rocks so much. I am very excited. I am still working on my roadkill1.2, but it looks much less furry friend of the woods and much more like something that has been dead and flat for quite some time. The only problem I am having right now is with my blood mixtures. . .just keep turning out pink or purple. . .nothing quite red enough, especially on the white sneakers.



Also, for the liquid latex. . .do any of you have tricks to keep your hair far far away from it? What is the best way to apply it? Thanks, cool people!

For the blood, try adding a little corn starch to the mixture. Or for each 10 drops of red, try to use one drop of blue food coloring. Or try to use paste food coloring, it is more concentrated...
As far as the latex goes, you can pull your hair back and try to avoid getting it near the hairline. Latex will dry faster with a blow dryer. It doesn't take long. Unfortunately, I lose a lot of hair during the month of October due to liquid latex. (and the pain isn't too great either)Just try to be as careful as possible...
