Haunted House Costume

Oh my god, long time no see stranger. I know it’s been awhile since the last time I’ve posted, simply because Room 13 has our annual haunted house and I haven’t had time to make any of my lovely paintings. So today I’m going to just talk about my scary costume I designed and put together myself for the haunted house. I was a guide for the haunted house and I chose to be one of the sexy girls from The Purge, so for my shirt I got an old white button-up and poured blood all over it. The end result made me look like I got killed because the ‘blood’ seeped through to the back of the shirt. The mask I wore, you can’t see in the picture I uploaded, but I simply gave the faceless mask a bloody smile for a scary look. Lastly, to finish the costume I wore black knee high boots, black fishnets, and a black pencil skirt to give off a scary bit very sexy look.

I would say getting the materials for my costume I needed in a short amount of time was one thing that went really well. Within two days, I was able to run to the mall and buy all the parts to my costume and was able to ‘bloody up’ my shirt and let it dry perfectly. Also, I would say the way I painted the front of the shirt went really well, gave the audience the sense that I just murdered someone and they were next.

I would say getting the perfect mask for my costume was the only struggle. My instructor couldn’t find the exact creepy grin purge mask that I was looking for and bought another one that was nothing like the one I wanted. So I took it upon myself and went and got myself another creepy mask from Party City. Even though I didn’t end up getting the exact mask I needed I was able to make do.

I believe I did great this week in class. Besides putting my costume together I also helped others set up their room. Whether that be taping spiders on the walls and doors or painting blood on the walls. I also pasted up tarp on the doors and windows to block the light to make the haunted house super scary. Overall, I really enjoyed the haunted house and watching it come together slowly.

Welcome back Briana the Barbie's weekly blog, I know it's been a long while since I've posted about one of my beautiful creations but now I am back at it and no more waiting. This week I've started a piece of a garden of flowers. I chose flowers simply because I love flowers and when I'm mad they calm me down. First, I picked out of wooden canvas and used a brand new saw that Room 13 got. Once I got the perfect size, I picked up a pencil and started to sketch all sizes and types of flowers.  Something about this project that went really well was using the new saw. I definitely liked the new saw better instead of the old saw because it was way more easier to use. And I didn't need my teacher's, Amy, help that much. One part of the project that was a struggle was drawing different types of flowers. I only know how to sketch tulips and the little white garnish flowers that they be putting on the corsage for girls for prom. Also, I would say making the

Giving Birth to my World (Finished)

Hey it's me, your favorite blogger, Briana Carter. Welcome back to my first FINISHED piece, this week in Room 13 I was able to complete this piece. So, this week my exact plans for this didn't go exactly as planned, instead of spray painting the cotton balls I ended up using black pom poms. I cut the pom poms in half, then hot glued them on my canvas, then I added purple glitter to her hair just to add some "spice". Gluing on the pom poms as her hair went surprising well, I wish she had the 4c hair texture but the pom poms make it look like she got 4c hair blow dried out lol. I also just the overall look of my finished piece and I'm content with it. The only struggle was putting the glitter in her hair. I used black paint over the black pom poms to act as adhesive for the glitter, and I hated it. Then, I got a suggestion from my advisor and she had me brush out the paint over the pom poms, and it came out great. This week in class I just focused on her hair a
