Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland Costumes

[MrPinski]

Jodo, I dont want to pay vey much ofcourse! haha. You remember what it was like making Jokers. haha. We tried to spend as little as possible to look as cool as possible! I also remember that forum being more about the costume and helping eachother out as well as showing off our stuff... it wasnt about making a buck as much as it is here...

 

[Jodo]

Jodo,
you mostly buy things and change them up..
the spools arent that difficult....

I was joking. :$ If I didn't want to see chain....I shouldn't of bought so much today. And besides that...How is this place gonna be kinky if we don't have any? :love :lol

Mr Pinski, I hear ya....I was just thinking of Halloween '08 today, I wonder where evryone went. :cry

EDIT again - To busy messing with Richard to ask what I wanted to. :lol Anyone know how to weather chain? :lol I thought about giving it a run over with sandpaper and hiting it with some patinas or something....but I don't want a painted effect, I just want...ehhh, well...an old chain look. :lol I even thought about using the sandpaper, and just doing washes or something.

I need imput though! :lol

And sure I guess people need to make money... but some things are just crazy overpriced for what you get (I won't mention anything specific) but there should be a bit more help in a forum and more of a sense of community I guess. Feed back here and there is nice rather than just straight criticism. Thats all I'm saying.

[spookykid7404]

Looking for wooden spools. My neighbor gave me a huge ass safety pin. Is there any color/ribbon references in these 72 pages ?

It's Thursday, the sun is shining, the surf is great..I am stuck inside trying to work this bloody chain I second that Jodo..I hate chain..hate it hate it hate it!! *Screaming heebies*

 

[Jodo]

LOL...It's a bit damp out here...But I wouldn't know about the surf. :lol

I told my mom I was gonna hang myself with the chain. :lol

"Back to work boy!"

(Can you tell where I sit? :lol )

 

[Capn_Jack_Savvy]

Hopefully not on the laptop!

It took me only about 3 hours to string up my bandolier plus another hour to redo certain things as more photos became available.

The wee hours of the morning after the kids are asleep really helps when it is quiet!!!

Well now I need to add another 2 hours to the job sometime to redo the darn thing yet again with smaller spools!

 

[Jodo]

I'm on spool #10, and I think I've spent about 45 mins. doing those. BUT...I just messed up on mine. LOL. I need to undo like 3 spools, and make them looser. They get tight, and it make the chain bow out suddenly in those places. So I think I need to take my stripes out and make them longer or something. Dang it. I should of known better than talk to someone while trying to do it. :lol

While I do agree than some things can get pricey, cost is really all relative. If someone produces a not so great item and overcharges, that person isn't gonna get any returning clients, are they? While one may think something is too expensive, another may think it is a good deal. I always have people tell me I sell my stuff for too cheap, and others that send me mean messages saying I'm crazy and way overcharge.

From what I've read, people here have been supportive! i haven't seen anyone be downright mean, and the criticism I have read is constructive. My other forum some of those women can be downright witches!

What happened to everyone that was on superherohype? I thought that board was just about comics and stuff.

*sorry I got so ot*
