Shoe commission

by the Really Short One Posted in Rie-G Comics | 4 Comments »

Yey! I’ve done another pair of shoes. This time a special someone asked me if I’d paint them a pair, they gave me the shoes and after doing a couple designs they chose the one they liked best.

Here’s a quick look at what was done and how. Huzzah!

First catch your shoes. You’ll find them grazing in high street shops in matching pairs. Approach slowly and with caution. Mind you don’t damage them as you wrestle them to the ground.

Here are the two fine young specimens I used.

Once I had a basic idea of what was wanted I drew the pattern to be painted to the actual size. Here’s a picture of the two designs that I prepared.

I used a white pencil so the lines would show nicely when I traced the pattern onto the shoes.

I then painted them with the fabric paints that Joe! and the Tall One bought me.

Ironed them and Finito!

(Notice how I just flung the ironing thing in there? Like it’s not all that complicated? Iron a shoe? No worries! They taught me in Girl Guides…)

As for who the shoes are for, well I’m not going to mention any names, but…


Ribbons and cool hairclips

Ahoy!

Joe! and the Tall one have had to change their plans today as it´s started raining and so they can´t do their outside filming. Jayme is busy getting frustrated with this project he´s currently working on and I´m messing about with more things I bought in England. Mainly ribbons and the felt (which I already had) At the moment I´m wanting to make a hairclip, with a plain hairclip that I´m going to stick or sew something on.  I´m just trying out different elements for the time being until I find something I like. No sequins this time but I´m seeing bunnies again… Or maybe one bunny.

I get really annoyed with the prices in shops for nice hairslides and hairgrips and this opinion just got worse at a recent shopping trip. All I wanted was something simple and at a reasonable price, it was crazy! 2.50 minimum to five euro for an adverage hairclip! And then they were either really tacky or just incredibly boring.  That´s why I want to give this a go.

I went to various material shops and craft shops in England with that idea in mind. I bought a load of nicely coloured ribbon, buttons and fabric glue and I´m now setting to work. Wish me luck! XD

Once again I shower you with photos, something Jayme doesn´t do because he´s too boring. Yey!

Behind the scenes

Okay, taking a cue from the tall one I´m going to give you all some info on the filming of the pilot episode. The street scenes were filmed in the town near us. We couldn´t cut off the street so we´d have to film whenever there was a lull in the noise. We´d have to stop filming to let cars go by. Standing around in a bunny suit attracts a lot of attention and our town is small so by the next day everyone knew we were up to something. Some would stand on their balconies to watch :D The night time scenes we did really late, to avoid cars and noise. The tall one was filming and I was on the boom mic. It was so cold and we were shaking so badly, we really had to concentrate hard to not mess up the take. Poor Joe! was only in a windbreaker.
The police officer´s uniform was put together with a belt, walkie talkie, a cap and a jumper. Joe! printed out the word “police” on a couple of pieces of paper and we stuck them to the clothing with pins. The reflective jacket was what really sold it. Rachel, who played the police officer was really good about the whole thing especially considering her son´s english teacher walked past us as we were filming and had a good look at her. The next day everyone knew that too.
In most scenes with the Bunny I was the one under the mask. The mask itself was made by Joe! and Jayme with papier mache and covered with fur, which came from the lower half of the curadell bunny suit. The eye holes were covered with gauze to make them look white. The result was an amazing looking mask.
I couldn´t actually see much out of the eye holes, I could just about make out the edges of things if I tilted my head, this was made worse by the fact that i wear glasses. It was winter and the mask´s only breathing holes were the eyes, needless to say it got pretty hot in there so much so that my glasses would steam up. So I´d take them off; didn´t really help much considering I´m short-sighted. In the battery scene Jayme had to call out when I was near the door so I would know when to turn. And they laughed themselves sick when I missed. Come to think of it I hit into the wall more whenever I listened to Jayme…
Here´s a couple of photos of the mask and of the view from inside it.
