Yesterday, I made my first latex prosthetic appliances for my halloween costume. I am not thrilled with how they turned out, but I get why they turned out the way they did, so at least there’s that. I’m not quite sure how to make new ones to get the effect I’m looking for–this is something that would’ve been better created with GM foam if only I had the oven and tolerance for sulfurous fumes Just figured it out. Reverse mold, not positive mold. Either I will make new molds tonight or I will fudge the makeup with some other technique on Saturday–the important thing is that I finish the actual costume first and focus on the less-important things later because right now, y’all, I need sleeves. I am anti-sleeveless. I will probably be working like mad on Friday/Saturday, but that’s really nothing new. This month has been insanely busy, even moreso than usual, but I’ll get everything done. I always do.
Tonight and tomorrow are my last nights at the haunt, I can’t believe how soon it’ll be over/how much fun I’ve had! One of the guys there gave me his card and maybe we’ll work togther on future projects, which is pretty exciting. His gore work is AMAZING and there’s a lot I could learn from him.
With your prosthetic skills and his expertise in gore it sounds like a perfect business match!
My prosthetic skills are bare-bones beginner, but I understand fashion makeup and this guy does not, so I definitely can be of use to him there.

I’m so glad that you had fun working at the haunt! and I am very excited to see your finished costume!
I made Emily’s costume: a white no-sew tutu and an iron on face on her t-shirt. yup, I was up until 1 am finishing it on Tuesday (her party was Wed) and her bow on the tutu didn’t make it past pics before the party! lol!
At least you got pictures! 😀
