So there’s a storm announced for Sunday, and slight rain for tomorrow…umbrella it will be, then!

Only that I might have to purchase a new, neutral one; I’m not sure if it’d be stylistically wise to take my pink Pusheen umbrella  to the Steampunk convention, lol.

Though the weather forecast says it will be raining in the morning, and we’ll be there in the afternoon, so…

If you’re from Luxembourg (even if you’re not and you’re attending), and you’ll happen to see me – come say hi! I won’t be wearing the exact same costume as in this picture, but I’ll be wearing the same wig and hat. (Also I got new glasses, so there’s that.)

DIY Cardboard Horns

From the comments section:

What sizes did you use?

I used a strap from 25cm long for the biggest circle and made them shorter for the smaller circles. They’re 1,5 cm in width, but you can always change it for different outcomes! It’s fun to experiment with it! How wider the strap is, how bigger the curve is going to be. And the cardboard is from an ice cream box, so I don’t really know how thick it is. I can only tell you that if the cardboard is too thick, you’ll see the edges through the surface, if you know what I mean  And it will be difficult to shape

… first I roll the biggest circle from a 25cm long strap. Then I take the next strap and make it a bit shorter, like 20 cm. I roll that one, glue the end and put it inside the biggest circle to let it fit in. And so on and on till you reach the middle  

How to put them on hair or wigs?

I used a thin metal hairband (black) to put them on. You can make two little cuts at the base of the horns and put the hairband through them. (Not sure if I used the right words)

Did you paint the horns or plaster them?

Um, I painted the horns with a rather thick paint and used a rough brush. That way you can see the lines in the way you paint. I also painted in different layers and used three different shades of the same color to make them more epic  (as you can see, the horns are beige and more reddish around the edges)

Did you use glue?

And I just wanted to say that I used hot glue, but from a glue gun. That way I could cover up the edges from the cardboard  And indeed, make a more awesome structure!

I met a friend this morning! 🐱🐈

We have a pile of old disassembled furniture sitting in front of our house, waiting to be recycled tomorrow morning. This little bean was highly interested in one of the drawers of mum’s old desk - pretty sure there was a mouse hiding inside.

When I left later, she came right up to me for a pet, happy tail and everything. She also has the cutest little meow!
