Costume Help

Well, you might think it's early to start talking about what to wear at FaeryFest, since the snow is all over the ground, but, well, when it comes to costumes, early is rarely early enough - I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been sewing madly the night before an event, because those last details just didn't get finished. And, since I can't start my sewing until I have measurements for the cast, I have some time to write posts about making costumes. Or, rather, to elicit your involvement in making forum topics to inspire and aide the many varied denizens of faeryland.

Perhaps this is your first costume, or, your first pair of wings, or your first faery costume, or perhaps, you have tips and suggestions to share. Let's help each other get ready for FaeryFest!

 So...post your questions and trials here, and we'll offer support, ideas, and try to help in any way we can!

I will have some wings available, or can make some custom ones at minimal pricing (starts at $20) for anyone who would like some for Faery Fest. Just drop me an email at aelwyndaeira@yahoo.ca or go to http://www.myspace.com/wingsandfaerythings.

Wings!

Hey Aelwyn, how would you like to write a quick wing-making tutorial for this site?

I'm sure it would be really useful, both for our local woodsfolk and for virtual visitors from other lands!

Sounds like fun! Next time

Sounds like fun! Next time I do a pair (which will be right after the two I'm in the midst of painting), I will do a step-by-step photo tutorial for some basic wings (the easy to make kind, my favourite to do!). :)

I tried to get into your site to see your wings but the link didn't work. I would love to see them as I need a new pair.

Link fixed

Thanks for fixing it....for some reason the forum was letting me do anything for a bit there. Weird.

I would be willing to go

I would be willing to go through my tickle trunk and see if I have any light and airy bits for the Seelie court.

It is also possible that Kathryn has a few bits, I could ask her if she is willing to loan some as well. Can't speak for her, but if you like I will ask.

I don't know what you do and don't have, but I know what hard work it is to put it all together, so let us know if we
can be of assistance in any way.

looking forward to the sun!!!!and to some fun.
