MALEFICENT HORNS PAINT TEST by michaela de bruce, August 17, 2014 Dust still in my hair, respirator indentations and irritation too but I cut back the horns even further to even them. Next step is to sand off that paint and bog in all the areas I cut right through and to an detail and…
MALEFICENT HORNS PROGRESS by michaela de bruce, August 14, 2014 Started cutting the horns down to shape and to be able to be worn. I still need to cut a tiny sliver from the front and slightly more at the back and then vents in the top. The left horn base is too heavy, but…
HORNS UPDATE XD by michaela de bruce, August 12, 2014 So Mite 10 Mega sells Norksi brand fibreglass and that range include polyester as well as epoxy (and the aisle has info sheets on “what is epoxy” which is awesome for health and safety! It also includes matting and fillers including one labeled as a…
ELSA AND MALEY UPDATES NOW 🙂 by michaela de bruce, August 11, 2014 I managed to snaggle some Madonna blue Dylon. They have the tiny pots again! Well not as pots but as sachets. So like the old silver top with colour sun packs, not the cold water dyes. Technically this is the right warm…
HORNS CUT BACK by michaela de bruce, August 10, 2014 So you can tell I actually sanded this thing even if I’m not holding a tool 🙂 Seriously, that is not a bad pastel hair fade attempt that’s awesone sanding powder. Still relying on being on the floor and using what safety equipment I have…

MALEFICENT HORNS, OF DOOM!!! by michaela de bruce, August 5, 2014 Not really, but they were a PITA to get to this stage. The glue on one side didn’t cure and so fell off and in the middle of mixing fibre and filler. This means a very short working time and so I tried all…
AND HEAD CAST FINAL BOGGING, I HOPE! by admin, July 28, 2014 I will be able to trial the mouse sander tomorrow 🙂 Actual mouse sander that has proper accessories and exhaust which means no burning through motors! Also it is super light. This was very important. No new ear casts because I am about to…
MALEFICENT TABBARD TESTING by admin, July 28, 2014 My super soft crepe for the Hindi Satine costume has done stunt duty for the tabbard pattern. If I were able to dye this a lovely rich black I’d just go and use this for the actual lining. sadly there is not enough to do so even…
MY FABRIC ARRIVED, BLISS 🙂 by admin, July 22, 2014 So perfect! http://www.mjtrends.com/products.Stretch-Black,Matte-Vinyl,Fabric#.U829YPmSyao It really is stretchy and it really does have that texture 🙂 Very good vertical stretch in fact more stretchy than horizontal 🙂 I’ve been a fan of their product for years, and have used it for all my Shiny Butt catsuits: Catwoman,…
