Costume time

Mars Attacks!
For Jacks fancydress party I created a mask and head of the main alien character from 'Mars Attacks'.
My paper mache creation collapsed so I resorted to tights stretched over cardboard.
It was pretty hot and squashed in alien head
but it felt ice to hve a big brain

a model I used for reference along with some screen captures

above, my work in progress

Im under there

Jack, my boyfriend asked me to make him into Edward Scissorhands
he wanted mechanical moving hands made with scissors
I only had cardboard
cardboard scissor it was!

  1. I really like your alien costume. Is it very hard to make an alien mask? I need to make one for Halloween. I think I will give it a shot. I will be using paper mache and wire for my materials. I can"t wait to see how it turns out.
