Been a while since I've done this....but I'm still alive and kicking! I've had a good burst of energy and creativity here lately and I've been hard at work detailing costumes and casting a mask so since this blog is supposed to be about the process I use to get work done...here are some pictures.
So...this is a trick for aging and distressing clothing, I just did it on a big scale since I had multiple items to do tend to. I filled my tub with steaming hot water and threw around a dozen or so tea bags in. Then I just stirred it around a bit and let it sit for two days. The nurse costume and the lighter gowns got a nice nasty brown/yellow stain from the tea...the robe unfortunately resisted the tea for the most part.
After I took the stuff out of the tub and dried it, it was time for the fun part, slinging blood and slime everywhere!
That was the fun part...then I mixed up a different blood mix that would be thicker and heavier and applied it, it leaves a more scabby look. Then I made green zombie goo or vomit or whatever and plastered that all over the place. Then all that was left was letting things dry!
So with that knocked out, I was ready to call it a day but then I got called out by a Haunter that shall remain nameless about my slow mask making...so I decided it was time to cast a mask, right then. My impulsiveness and haste resulted in me not using a mold strap like I should have...which cost me half a bucket of spilled latex. But whatever, I got the mold sealed and successfully pulled the mask after a decent 24 hour cure.
Thats probably enough for right now...I also did some updating and freshening up details on my Slaughter Fiend costume...so next time I'll have to show that off!
