my ghilliesuit halfdone :)

oi!
Here you go, some pics of my 1/3 done ghilliesuit + 1/2 done ghilliemask :) The one side of the mask took me 5 hours to make :D

Comments? Should I add other colors?

Is that yarn.. dont use yarn.. Go to Wal-Mart, and get some Burlap. It looks soo much more realistic.. Its lik 1.87 a yard. All you got to do is cut the white string out, and frey it/dye it, and it looks nice. Anywayz.. Its a good start.. but the yarn will break later on soo easily, and when it gets wet it will expand, and will make it heavy... Burlap doesnt absorb alot of moisture, and looks nice and accepts dye to show a good color, not bright like the yarn.. But good start..

Here is a pic of my old mask.. its photo negative right now. If someone could please take it off because I am at school right now, and dont have my programs to show the actual colors..

That is how Burlap layers down.. and i wish you could see the colors.... but thats just an idea of another material to use..

lol.. Im not sure in finland.. Most Fabric stores carry burlap n e where in the world. Its highly easy to get. Shogoo is usually found in a walmart.. or a store of that sort. Usually in a show department. It is made for applying a broken sole of a shoe back to the shoe... but, still.. enjoy the ghille, it takes long hours to make them better. So dont stop until your done. Once you think your done with a Ghille suit, you just got more adjustments to make, from color, to the length of the material, to replacing lost strands.. but enjoy!
