Thanks to everyone who posted comments on my last entry ((HERE)) I was able to solve all of my problems.



PROBLEMS SOLVED. Better than solved actully. I really liked how everything turned out. Today is our offical photoshoot day but its raining, so ugh. I don't know how its gonna go, but I will post pics. <3

The Wig: First I tried dying it with the ink I bought at Michaels, but when it didn't really work, I decided to go on and use sharpies. Orange, Brown, and Blond. WOW. It worked, and its REALLY bright orange. Not exactly what I was looking for, but thats okay. He'll just have to be a dramatic Ron Weasley. Then I put the wig on Sammy's head and cut the hair. I styled it with gell, so hopefully it will stay. Sam is such a good sport.

The Purse: I didn't have shoe polish, and my dad has a basement full of spray paint and sand paper, and stuff, so I went down and snagged some of his stuff and brought it outside. I sprayed the purse with a few different sprays, and then beat it up a bit with metal brushes and sandpaper. I really like the result. It looks.... interesting. I have to perfect it a little bit more, but I decided to keep the straps cause they go better. ;)

The Tie: Surprisingly, when I painted on the lines with the fine tip paint markers I bought, it didn't really bleed. I just followed the pattern on my tie, and it turned out fine. Its not perfect, but... Oh, and I didn't have any tape, so I used a ruler, and a good eye.
