and seven hours later i am back at home. this is what i was doing. the masks are worn under the hoods. they are set on baseball caps with shortened brims so that they will not muss the fancy make-up of the performers underneath as they are playing multiple rolls. the masks are latex and started out as purchased "beetlejuice" faces. they were coated in an adhesive called pros~aide which provided a surface which my acrylic paints would adhere to. i sprayed the giant cloak using jaquard's "dyna-flow" and my trusty sometimes tempramental airbrush. as a reward for my labours, i am going out shoe hunting.
just finished an aimee bender book. "an invisible sign of her own." i'm not really a huge fan of her writing. i haven't quite been able to put my finger on it yet although i think that it might be that it is a little too laced with melancholia and lacking a certain lushness in the writing style. there were some very nice details and moments, but overall, meh... on the other hand "the historian" by someone whose name eludes me right now and i'm too lazy to get the book from the bedroom, is rich and fluid and magical...and i've only just started it.
