Well, I finished the mask for my Queen of the Night today. I had actually started it late last summer before Asa went away for her new faceup, but her costume kept getting delayed....
over and over again, so it was never finished.
I've started a Tutorial page for "Queen of the Night, a Creative Journey", where I will continue to post updates on that costume. I'll post about it here in my Blog too, but if I have a Tutorials page for it, then it will be all together in one place and easy to find at a later date.

I've decided that there are so many parts to the Queen of the Night outfit, that the page will become way too massive, so I've decided to cut out the progress on the mask and shoes and present them as separate Tutorials. I've already finished the Apoxie Mask Tutorial, and it can be accessed through the "Queen of the Night" page, or by clicking on the photo above.
Today I also struggled with the soles and heels for my Queen's shoes. It sounds so easy - roll out some Apoxie, cut out the sole and smooth it on, but Apoxie is like working with chewed bubble gum, and doesn't want to co-operate. The heels were especially difficult, so I quit when everything looked "good enough". After the Apoxie cures, I can carve and sand the soles and heels into shape. Then paint and glue them on. All I can say, is that it sure is a lot easier making permanent shoes on an art figure, than it is to make a nice pair of removable shoes!!

*The Rococo Shoes Tutorial is also already up, and I will add to it as I progress on the shoes. It's also accessible from the Queen of the Night page, and by clicking on the photo above.
