Update on mask!

It seems that I forgot to tell you all about Saturday's work on the mask!
So, I'll be updating you on both days!  Like a double feature, at a theater!  ;D

Saturday started off with sewing the balaclava, one of the most tedious things to sew, honestly.  I'm definitely buying them from now on...  Although, come to think of it, I won't actually be using them any longer since I'm done with foam/balaclava base heads.  Hurrah! Ha-ha.

After the balaclava was finished I started carving out the foam pieces of the face (muzzle/jaw, brow, cheeks) and put the ears on (unfurred)  Unfortunately though, since I can't seem to find my micro SD card adapter, photos of the unfurred foam base will have to wait.  :(

And that was Saturday!

Sunday I was unable to work, due to a very busy day!

And now, to Monday!  Which is today, I might add.

Today I worked for about 9 1/2 hours, possibly a bit more than that, but It's hard to keep track sometimes.

So today's project was to fur and finish the mask completely.  I got close to that goal.

Here are the photos!

Please remember these are all work-in-progress photos.








 I was watching a movie, hence the people on my computer :P








So now what's left is;  The neck, the blue hair floof, and the tongue.  Which will all be tackled tomorrow mornin'!  Seeing as it's 2:00 in the morning here and I am tired.  I would love to talk more about the things that were done on this mask but I can't think straight right now, so perhaps I'll edit this later.  If you have any questions on how I did anything, I would love to answer them!

Frustration!

Well, I was unable to work on any of the costume yesterday, due to having to get stuff packed to stay at my grandparents for a few days.

So today I pulled all my stuff out of the car, unpacked it to start working on the mask and guess what..  I forgot my balaclava pattern...  (I reeeeaaallly hate making these things..)  so I can't do ANY work on the mask, and won't be able to work on it until Saturday, my deadline is creepin' up so this is very very stressful for me.
And I'm in the middle of nowhere, so I can't go to a store and buy a balaclava.

Agh.....
Well I'll do a post on Saturday then, I guess.
