I've been making lots of awesome necklaces and other costume-props for Jack's game. At first, I wasn't going to put up the pictures until after the game because I was worried about giving away the game, but Jack wants them up so he can see them and so I'm going to put them up.
The props are mostly for the cannibal fae - ish tribe. I have several wood-bead necklaces with bones and teeth that I made out of random clay and glue and paint and whatnot. I also have one mask that's a piece of a skull, and my baby-piece is a large owl-skull shoulder-guard type thing (It really won't guard against anything, but this is a game, so it'll work however it's wearer decides.) with feathers and a strap with a spell invoking the protection of Amon Ra in ancient Egyptian (in real ancient Egyptian, not just english spelled out- REAL ancient Egyptian. I can write in real ancient Egyptian. Yes, I can. So shut up.) All over the strap/buckle/thing to hold it on. It's connected to a black shirt that's all ripped because I figured it would be a piece for the desert-tribe.
Anyway, I'll post them as soon as I finish them. I've still a lot of assembly, even though everything's pretty much laid out. And I have more clay for more pieces once I figure out what Jack wants.
To Jack-
I have enough for three more masks or a bunch more bones, or another special piece. Right now, I'm woring on the owl skull. It's the most complicated because I have to attach all these feathers to the piece, and I didn't have the right shoe-polish to use on the faux-leather part, so I have to construct it differently. Shouldn't be too hard, but it means I'm down one hunk of the good foam.
Lucky I've got that huge old discontinued book that my mom bought off of an old monk for my birthday on reading heiroglyphs. (If that's not the coolest way to get a book, and the coolest sort of book, I don't know what is. Next to getting like, a book of ancient egyptian spells that actually work) I'm going to start actually studying that book for Egypt, dude. What do you think of that? By the time we go, I'll be able to read the walls in the pyramids!
That is, if I study.
Anyway, I've got a lot of cloth and a mass of tiny plastic ants for that bug-guy if you still want me to try and make that part... Gee, I should start him soon. I'm working on the skull now, though, and that's taking up my clothes form. I'm trying to strengthen the skull as much as possible, but if I make it too hard it won't be play-safe. No matter what I do, if someone falls on their shoulder, they are liable to break off the beak. Oh, well. Doesn't really matter. It'll prolly look just as cool without the beak.
Your game sounds like it's coming along great.
Email me. You're online now, reading this, so email me.
I love you.
