I need help with my Hallowe'en costume. It's going to be a bit of a challenge but also really fun. I'll feed you and supply as much beer as you can drink if you want to come over sometime in the next few weeks and help me build the basis of my costume. I really have no idea how to go about building what I need, but I have a vision!

lol...

I know what I want and what supplies I need, it's just the actual artistic part where you make it look good....not my forte.

^It's a secret.

If you think you can help, msn me but you're going to need to sign a non-disclosure agreement first. ;)

I did some paper-mache in highschool and over the last couple years... but I'm not so good with the artistic part... I could definetly be classified as a last minute backup if you needed me :)

Just let me know haha and I would love to help out!

Get a good supply of chicken wire as it is flexible and fairly easy to make shapes.

The secret to a good mache is lots of layers, followed by lots of paint and a good varnish to make it look pretty.
