G-MEX Harry Potter

Hey all. Hows it going? Vertias, the cotton velvet is prefect for the robe. I hope you have fun making it. Ellie I hope you have some good luck soon for your Fluer. I've completed my DE mask. I'll tell you how (I would post pics but my camera is being evil at the mo).

 

I picked up a basic ready made plain mask from 'The Works' a stationary shop. Its flexable and only cost £1.49. I then cut the shape I needed with a modeling knife. I stuck on the teeth which were made out of viynal. I then painted it using a dry brush techniquie used by people who paint little minitures. The whole effect looks so cool and proberly cost me about £3.00 in total to create. It took about two hours roughy to make.

 

I just wish I could post a pic.

Hehehehe... I think current plans are to do the tournament/deatheaters thing on Saturday and possibly Sunday morning (dependant on plans for wearing normal costumes/LOTR costumes...)

 

I'm going to do the red stripes on Harry's trousers by buying some faintly shiny ribbon, and just sewing it on... might look a little weird, but at least it's easy to do!

 

How's the Cedric 3rd task top looking??

ok once I finish this report today I will look for some more Draco photos :)

 

Cool Emma, when your camera works send us a picture I would love to see it.

 

Ok robe question, instead of altering my gryffindor robe and hoping no one sees the red, think I could get away with a black velvet robe for Bellatrix instead?

Well due to being online last night and being at work tonight my robes are still waiting to be finished with the darts and pleats - there is sooooo much material in the back panel lol but it looks amazing right now and swishes and AHHHHH! lol am so excited now!

 

Well done Emma on the mask it sounds ace! God I wish it was closer now lol means I wouldn't be in work for one thing but it's a month away yesterday! XP XD

 

Maybe not sure on the Bella robe Bella lol

 

Sam - yay on your hair being all Draco! XD

 

I've seen the costume Ellie is going to be wearing hopefully on ebay and OMLN i hate her so much for how beautiful the suits are! This group is going to be so ace! I'll take some pics of the robes on me asap - got tomorrow night off work and the whole of saturday so I'll have enough time to finish them and work on my movements for voldie. For my underclothes I'm wearing a modified male polo shirt that in small is still wayyyyy too big for me and only cost £2 and the trousers used to fit me really now but are hugely baggy since I lost weight. Am gonna wear flip flops to walk round in and then go barefoot for photos I think and does nayone think it's worth me getting the acrylic nails for my hands and toes to be really accurate? If so I'll have to get them after I get paid on the 27th coz I don't ahve enough money to be able to spend as my phone bill goes out before I get my pay check (stupid dates) and this month it was thirty over what I thought it would be -whistles- That's phoning you in canarda Jeannette!

Meh, this is no good. I don't think I can make a robe in time. Will speak to my friend who did a death eater for the GOF meetup and see how he did his. Although, worst option. is robeless although would mean people will probably get to draw some lovely tatoos on me :P

I know that hot topic do the tattoos in varying different colours (not sure as to the purpose of that, but there ya go!)

 

I'll ask in here, as not sure everyone checks the posts in the g-mex thread...

 

Do you think I should dirty up my lovely clean Harry top, to make it more suitable for the graveyard scene... Also, dude... Is there a graveyard near G-mex at all?? How cool would it be to take over for a photo session in the dying light of day, Saturday afternoon??

 

Then onto a meal, all dressed up still, before retiring back to our various locations?? I really feel as though we should do something on Saturday night... though Ellie's suggestion of stalking Stan and Robert is quite amusing! hehehehe
