This was the second simple design idea for the party. Just a nice layer of translucent metallic purple with silver highlights. Kara was my model and I am so grateful for her. she was one of the first to arrive and sat patiently with me through the entire process. She jumped in and assisted me with a fair number of the designs, helping with drying and even applying latex for the Reptilian costume. She was the last to get done and I regret that I did not do a better job of it. By the time I started on her I had done 10 people in 7 1/2 hours, suffered a large number of setbacks and hardware troubles, and had people pushing me due to deadlines and time crunches. So all my frustrations and fatigue fell on her. Overall it looked pretty "okay", but I could see the flaws. Quite a few uneven color patches and the silver was not heavy enough to show up as I intended. I hope she was not too disappointed in the effect. By then end of the night I had taken to calling her "Lil Miss Patience".

See how happy she was even this late in the game...

At this point she seem less sure of the process....

But here she seems to be getting in to it and showing some alien "styl'n".

The silver didn't stand up as well on the rest of the body as it did on her face.  

Finished costume was great for wandering around a crowded alien party, but i was not so proud of it in the bright light.

Thank you Kara!
