Just because we're silent doesn't mean we're not up to something! We have several projects that we're juggling, some that are SUPER OMEGA TOP SECRET and others that we'll be leaking details on quite soon... 

The first spoiler that we want to share with everyone, is that a as a group, we've decided that we'll be taking on some pretty big projects within the next couple months that will put all our skills to the test. We want to put on shows that are even bigger with even bigger casts! This means that we will be opening up our group a bit and casting for roles that could grow from temporary to permanent within our group!

That means... if you love acting, love dressing up, love being on stage and showing off~ you'll have the chance to join us! We will start accepting fresh actors that are willing to commit and learn, and don't worry about experience because we can teach you!


We are currently writing out our first show, already scheduled to be performed at GlitchCon 2013! So keep an eye out, because soon we'll be sending out casting calls and we would love to work with you!
 
WOW I haven't updated this in forever! I'm such a slacker! We have been anticipating an overhaul of this entire website, but we're running into a few issues. I'll try to get back on schedule with keeping things updated until then!

We just returned from All-Con where we had an awesome time!! We wore our Steampunk Gotham cosplays, and our Doctor Who costumes. We did a Cosplay Intermediate panel and a Props and Armor on a budget panel. A huge thanks to every photographer who took our photo, and every person that attended one of our panels. We appreciate you all so much, and hope that we entertained you or taught you something!
Our wonderful friends Joe and Ashly joined us for this group as Batman and Poison Ivy. I (Mika) made my costume using patterns I created. My hammer is made from craft foam filled with expanding spray foam. Shaun's Joker is mostly modified from clothing we already had lying around. Demi's Catwoman was made using 2 way stretch pleather. Ashly made her costume and Joe's in like 2 days because she's crazy and awesome.


Yay Doctor Who! I am the lighter angel, Demi is the darker angel, Shaun is the Silence, and our amazing friend & handler Keegan is the 10th. Here's a quick run down of how the Angels were made! In the next blog, I'll explain how the Silence was made. 
We bought plastic masks from hobby lobby, cut the eyeholes to be larger, and sculpted details onto them using paperclay. 
We sewed an underdress and stitched a hula hoop into the bottom of it to hold the basic shape. Then we sewed the top dress. We hand gathered it to make it "bunch" properly. The third photo is what we wear under both of the dresses. It covers our neck, heads, arms, and hands. This saves us from having to paint ourselves and matches our dresses pretty well! They were made by stitching women's tights onto old tank tops. We painted the dresses and arm/head/neck/hand covering using spray paint and acrylic paint mixed with a fabric medium. We painted it all one medium shade of grey then painted on highlights and shadows to give that stone look.


We sewed the gloves by pinning between the fingers, cutting between the pins, and hand stitching. We put clear nail polish on the seams to keep the hose from running. The first pair we used were too thin, so we switched to the thicker pair in second photo. Then we added fake fingernails. 


We made the wigs by stitching yarn down the middle, then styled them into ponytails. Next we glued little curls on the front for the bangs using clear tacky glue. Once they were styled we covered them in modge podge to harden them.
The wings are made from two layers of tri-fold foamcore poster boards. The feathers are made from craft foam. In between the two layers of foamcore are 3 wire pieces with fabric glued over them. The fabric helps give the glue something to hold on to. 
The eyes were made from little plastic containers that you get from 50 ¢ machines. The middle photo shows the wing harness and the last photo is the finished product!



Until next time, here's an entertaining video including a quick interview with us at All-Con. We appear at 19:03. A big thanks to the awesome people at SCNS Live for the interview! You can check out their facebook here! We have so many exciting things planned for the future, and can't wait to get started on them! We also have a few new tutorial videos in the works. Again, I'll put up the Silence info in the next blog!
