The stage costumes - all about it here!

I would LOVE to get a hold of some reindeer pelt, lol.

 

[*Mika*]

Go to stockmanns, they sell reindeer furry things
I hugged the taxidermy one, and got funny looks=)

 

[Saturnia]

We don't have a Stockmanns where I am, unfortunately. Maybe I'll ask this hunter guy I know if he could save one for me (plus the meat). I'm still waiting to hear back from him on a couple of bear pelts, though.

rght, so I really need to return to Finland this year (damned money-problems)

 

[Lettuce]

I just assumed you skin a deer and work a little sewing machine magic on it...

But if you're one of them "oh no not the hanimaaaals" types, the fake fur we use in our studios for stuff like puppets and character costumes (I work at the company who make stuff like Tweenies, Fimbles, Barney the Dinosaur, Dolmio family, and promo costumes for Fox, Nintendo, Dreamworks, BBC etc.) is something like £23-£30 a metre, which is around the same price as or more than real fur because it's VERY good quality. The cheap stuff from Hobbycraft is only good for things like toys and hideous car upholstry

 

[Cari]

I guess everyone is going to hire you now for their turisas-gig-clothes XD

 

[*Mika*]

Are you kidding?
We sit in her kitchen make puppets, drink elderberry juice from ikea and eat finnish bread, alongside ridiculously big buckets of KFC.
When we get around to it we'll eventually spray paint a baby doll or make Netta the duck she wanted lol

Tea first though!!!
*sups*

 

[Lettuce]

I still got a load of Reticulated foam leftover from the fat zombie, bit of copydex and fleece we can make a monster.

 

[*Mika*]

Awesome, once we've made turisas furry creatures and my bolero, that sounds good.


Ooh and if I find anything Turisas clothing related on web (fur, paints, leather) thats sort of thing I'll link it in here

 

[Lettuce]

was gonna make Turisas muppets earlier this year but Val suggested that the deadline I had would have probably made me keel over and die if I tried making several. But soon we shall make the pretties....then like, subtley replace each member of the band one by one with them. No one will ever know.

that´s a great idea

I´d suggest ebay, they have much...but for my taste not that much when it comes to make it suit to the pic i have in front of my inner eye when it comes to my outfit -.-

 

[Katie'Force]

I got my material and fur for my outfit from an Asian wedding supplies shop. they have every single type of material there you can imagine! and it's decent prices too.

 

[Cari]

now i just need to find one in Germany, even better in cologne *laughing*

 

[Katie'Force]

haha yeah not very helpful outside of the uk is it?

 

[Cari]

nope, not that much *lol*
and the probling is I´d have to sew it per hand and not witha machine because noone I know owns one *argh*

problems over problems XD

 

[Katie'Force]

ah see i went 'mum i'm borrowing your sewing machine'
'why'
'to make a viking outfit'
'do you want help'
'ooh yes please!'
she ended up doing all the cutting and sewing of the skirt and jacket so all i had to do was make the boot covers, the top and cut the bottom of the skirt to look ragged
i love my mum, she's ace hehe

 

[Cari]

can i borrow me your mum?

 

[Katie'Force]

haha not sure she'd appreciate being shipped out to cologne

 

[Cari]

what if I am coming earlier over to you? *lolol*

 

[Katie'Force]

it took my mum a week to make mine... thats a long time to be hanging around in the tiny town of mirfield
