So Much Crafting, Prosthetic Makeup and a whole load of designing!

This week has been a whole load of crafting in preparation for the Comicon's coming up this year. Its been a lot of learning, trial and errors as well as a whole load of ordering material...and I would be lying if I said that I was loving it! Crafting and designing characters has always been so therapeutic for me, I can just focus solely on my creations and (for the majority of the time) forget about the chronic pain stuff.

So last blog I showed you a sneak peak of the chest piece that I was working on but not the final piece. So here it is....

I have to say for my first chest piece/armour piece, I don't think I did that bad. I definitely learnt some lessons with it and my next one I think am going to try out a different material.

This will be available for sale at Preston Comicon and if it doesn't sell there then it will be available at Blackburn Comicon. If anybody reading this is interested then send me a message, I can hold on to it for you to collect at the event.

The other items I've been working on to sell is another arm piece, which I can't remember if I've talking about this one with you guys or not but here it is....

 Now this piece am super proud of...and yes this is also for sale.


Makeup wise, its been a bit slow because I've been wrapping up with my teaching work last week. 
I posted the makeup tutorial video on the HUDA beauty palette which I got a lot of nice attention from.

I love this palette though, its so pretty the metallic, matts and shimmers in all those luscious oranges, yellows and reds...lovely warm colours. Warm colours aren't a normal style I gravitate towards but with this palette I love them.
I haven't bought much from HUDA beauty in the past but I think I may be buying more in the future...well when I make the money back that I've spend on all that crafting and fabrication!!!

This weeks YouTube video going up will be a prosthetic makeup one...yes its the one I gave you a tease of in the last blog.

There are going to be more images of this look going up on my Instagram and Facebook page (@Ruth E Moulden MUA) so make sure you are following me on there!!

But back to the look, so with this look for some silly reason I decided that I would try apply on the hottest days ever!! I mean I had sweat dripping all over!!! 

But I did it!! It wasn't the cleanest application I have ever done but it was a good application and am pretty sure I have the amazing adhesive Snappy G to thank for that one!!

If you have never heard of Snappy G, its an awesome silicone adhesive from https://www.neillsmaterials.co.uk which works wonders of staying powder and using it under some stressful...sweaty situations!!

 The look is created with two silicone prosthetics created by moi using EcoFlex and Stuart Bray molds, the brow piece and the mouth piece. 
Both of these pieces will be available to buy at both the Preston Comicon and the Blackburn Comicon. If your interested in buying let me know and I'll hold them for you to collect and pay at the event.

Because am now officially on my holiday's from work, I have plenty of time to plan and design stuff so along with the work for the Comicon's that am doing I also have two other events that am planning to attend.

One being a competition and the other a music festival that I regularly help out at. I think for this blog, I'll tell you about the music festival cause I need to sort somethings out regarding the competition before I official state am competing!!

Confessional is the name of the music festival and I have been for the past 3 years I think, with a stall applying themed face painting and glitters. The themes have been some awesome ones in the past such as David Bowie were I was applying Ziggy lightening to people. As well as the awesome themes, the whole event is in an abandoned/disused church which gets all fancied up. The event typically starts at 4pm and runs till midnight with loads of live bands playing and a DJ set based on the theme that year. Some of the bands that I've seen there have been Cabbage, Amber Arcades and Bang Bang Romeo which are all awesome local or indie bands.

This years Confessional's theme is "out of this world" with a kind of 80s B rates Sci-fi feel and will be held on 8th Sept 2pm-midnight (yay longer then last years festival!) at Holy Trinity Church and will feature bands such as Mold, Fruittones, The Ninth Wave and more!
I will be there of course with my right hand lady and another ex-student (who am yet to ask if she wants to do it!) and we will be offering face painting/glitter and new for this years festival face gems. So get your tickets ----- https://www.facebook.com/confessionalfestival

So my beautiful people, plenty of events that I will be attending so make sure you come along and say Hi to me!!!

Don't forget that Thursday I will be uploading another tutorial video (Demon prosthetic look) so make sure that you are subscribed to my YouTube Channel ----- https://www.youtube.com/user/RuthMouldenMUA
