Front view of the Maul cap. I cannot conscienably (spelling?) put a child in a bald cap or vinyl mask all day in summer heat. His face will be painted but you gotta have horns to be Maul. This is my first attempt at fabric painting like this and is a little uneven but I doubt anyone will notice with him jumping around. I stitched the horns from a pvc mask and freehanded the red paint based on the mask.


Top view to see all the horns. still need touch up on the red and the cut edges of the horns



This is most of the full costume. Had to use Vader gloves but will trim them up when I can fit him. Maul looks bald with his horns (the mask cut out) and some touch up needed on the belt. Had never used Gorilla Glue before so didn't know to anticipate it expanded so much. Most of this is very quick work so it's not as good as I'd normally be satisfied with but he may only wear this one time and tear it up so I'm not too concerned with fantistic workmanship. I'll be thrilled if it lasts the day.



This is the heapiece for Dove's Parade Gown. My first attempt at jewelry making. It covers the entire forehead so it's a little larger than it should be but looks good, I think, considering my limited knowledge of the twisting and glueing wire and stones and that I can't custom make the shapes. Below is the real thing.

Here's Pics of the costumes with comments. There weren't many with Dove in the Amidala costume as we had some issues that she didn't want to wear it after despite many comments of how beautiful she and the costume looked but oh well.



This is just after completing the makeup so it's the only pic of it perfect. Keep in mind I had to be careful with makeup near the eyes which is why it ended up coming off later in the day.



Maul had fun with him and finally gotten him to pose right which I hadn't been able to before. He also snatched the hat off his head, inspecting it for a minute before nodding and putting it back on his head. Oh we hadn't been able to get boots for him and I didn't have time to make spats but the legging wrapping worked okay.



He kinda looked like Jedi Luke without the makeup and he kinda liked that. It's a possiblity next year if not Anakin who he thinks he looks like too.



Here she is with son. because of last minute alterations the dress itself was a little short but made it easier for her to walk.



I was hard pressed to get her to smile at this point. This was on the way out of the park to take the costume off.



This is a detail of the parasol as seen from the back


now yay it's over.
