Finally got some fresh photos of this horned crown design. With this color scheme it has a bit of a Maleficent feel. I'm fond of this concept. It's not exactly a mask, but it fills a similar costuming space as a mask while leaving the face free. This is up for sale on my Etsy shop!
This project kept me busy through July and the start of August. Someone ordered 30 of these horned crowns for a high school color guard act. I’m not sure what the act is exactly, I guess it’s bull-themed. This was the second such large order actually; someone else ordered a similar number for a different school last year. I guess I’ve stumbled into a niche market?
Now I’m geared up to make some new stuff.
I had a few extra pieces after making that horn order, and I decided to have fun with a set of horns. I’d call this a bull fight version. It was a lot of fun to do.
It is not always the matador who wins.
Sadly I screwed this one up when I went to seal it up. Put the varnish on way too thick, and it got all frosted and cloudy. But I’m thinking I’ll probably do more again sometime to sell.
Made this set of bull horns for that color guard group. I wanted to try out making horns in this way, being hollow and stitched together. The end result was really nice, but wow it was a trial to stitch these together.
The basic challenge is, when you’re sewing through a piece of fabric, the needle has to go somewhere. When you’re sewing right up at the thin tip of the horn, where does the needle go? The answer turns out to be that you have to sew it in two halves, then you sew the two remaining seams at the same time, keeping it really loose until you get far enough and have enough room that you can tighten them up. These took 8 hours to stitch together, which for reference was about how much time it took to sew this plague doctor mask. Because of the amount of time it took, it doesn’t make sense for me to offer this design for sale. But I really did like how these turned out, and I think I would like to use this style of horn in future large masks where the size and impact of the piece can justify the time investment and price. I might also be able to make not-fully-closed horns in a similar manner, that should take significantly less time.
I took these process photos for my own reference really, but I figured people might be interested in seeing them. I’ve got some final photos that I’ll dig through in a bit.
