Thread: 2010 Costumes: Nevermore & Lady Reaper In Progress

Tweet

Looking good ZM ... sometimes it helps to step away from a troublesome piece you're working on and come back to it with "fresh" eyes.

As for the mask, I think it's fine the way it is so I vote ... NO to more teeth.

Looks like you are coming along just fine on both.

I like the name reaperess.

Also the teeth look fine like they are. You don't need add any more teeth.

I should be able to update you on my Duchess dress at the end of next week or so. The actual material will be put over the hooped petticoat to get the final flair and length and then it should be off and running.

The warlock robe is a little long so need to have some alterations done to it.

Take care!

Thanks Atum and TC! I have to say I'm glad that the mask doesn't need more teeth .

Atum: I agree. I have the tendency of rushing projects that I get tired of, thus botching them. It's always healthy to step away and reassess.

TC: I'm leaning toward calling this version of the costume the Reaperess, though that may change assuming I use it in the future. There are quite a few feminine renditions of 'Death' in various cultures (thanks to Atum for pointing some of those out), so assuming I don't go gung ho for a new costume, I would like to try some of those variations in the future. I'm looking forward to seeing your costumes as well!

Should be going next week to get my Duchess dress cut and lined up over the petticoat for flair and length.

Also have ordered a long black midieviel ladies wig for the Duchess whereby the hannin and tremble will fit on top and the wig will fit upon a headpiece. All in one!

Also am getting a pair of old looking latex gloves with nails for the Duchess' hands over which I will wear a pair of reddish lace fingerless gloves.



Have the makeup and will start practicing to be old and ugly looking.

The Duchess should be an old looking, creepy and grotesque old gal when I finish with her.

Also found a wizard's chin and nose for the warlock. Now have both - a witches & a warlock. Need to see which one will go best.

Keep me informed on your costumes!
