Members KittyKatMask Posted March 12, 2014 Members Report Posted March 12, 2014 Hi, I'm new to this site. I just signed up because I'm looking to hire someone to make me a tightly fitting cat mask. I’m thinking it will mostly be made out of either leather or suede (depending on what you think would work better for a mask to be tightly fitting) and faux fur or real black animal fur. I’m gonna plan on rubbing and nuzzling my head up against people while being a kitty cat of course so I’d need it to withstand such activity. If someone is confident in such a project, I can get together with someone to sketch the design and get you exact measurements of my head. Not sure if sharing my contact info. here is ok or not so I'll wait for responses and let me know how we proceed. Thanks, Brian Quote
Members stanly Posted March 19, 2014 Members Report Posted March 19, 2014 Hello KKM; this sounds interesting, but at least 2 things need discussion. 1. make me a tightly fitting cat mask. Guess it depends on your idea of tight. I've made a custom skull cap and let's just say I had fingers crossed since it wasout of town. 2. I’m gonna plan on rubbing and nuzzling my head...need it to withstand such activity. I really only know that stage masks/ makeup have the hair glued to them, but don't know how that would stand up.

Members KittyKatMask Posted March 25, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks for the response last week Stanly. Yeah, getting a good fit I imagine is the main trick, especially if this is done long distance. I was thinking of maybe getting a casting of my head or just really precise measurements. I'm thinking of something that covers my entire head with either a zipper or a string tied back like this: http://www.dhgate.com/product/wholesale-full-blindfold-pu-leather-mask/138117004.html I hope that clarifies both of your inquiries. Let me know if this a project you'd be interested in. And susiek, I'll send an email with the sketches once I get those done. Be well, Brian Quote
