Here's the info from Natalie about how she made the Monkey costume: "When we made the costume, my sister, who made the top for me, actually just used her husband's gee-top (you know, martial arts top) as a guide and made it from that using the material. The outside patterning, not correct, I know, we got as close as we could patterned ribbon from a craftshop and sewed on the edges. My scarf was just a square of yellow material folded over. The belt was just leather-look-alike material, pretty cheap stuff, and we put some gold roping around the outside (all from craftshop). And the centre piece, also not correct, is the japanese kanji for monkey, drawn on with gold metallic pen (and left for AGES to set). The headband we just got some gold-shiny cardboard (quite painful on the eyes in the light) and cut out in the right shape. The trousers I already owned - rather inconsequential - and the boots I also owned - just suede boots. The eye-brows and sideburns (quite funny to wear - you feel so stupid) is just the furry stuff you buy to make! b! ears from from craft/material shops cut into the right shape. We had a bit of trouble actually figuring out how to stick them to my head. Vecro dots were used for the side-burns (you can see them a bit) - as were used to secure the belt. The dots were too big for the eye-brows, though, so we got some double-sided sticky tape and stuck them to my eyebrows and the fake ones (ouch). The only other thing is the stick: just a thick bit of dowling like is used for windows, which we spray-painted the ends with gold paint and painted the rest black. All quite simple. My stick WAS stolen, however, at the party to play LIMBO with. And is now laying around my room with my monkey costume with nothing to do. All up, it cost maybe $40, not including what I already had." >And how'd you go about making one for me ... ? Can't help you on that one, I'm afraid.. ;) Howell _________________________________________________________________ Use MSN Messenger to send music and pics to your friends http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger - --------------------------------------------------------------------- + List guidelines: http://www.monkeyheaven.com/guidelines.html + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?

You can now see a photo of me meeting Shunji Fujimura on this new page on my web site: http://www.monkeyheaven.com/daymethorse.html The autograph he gave me is on this page: http://www.monkeyheaven.com/autographs_shunji_ohyois.html I've added a little bit of extra information to the "The Day I Met The Horse!" account that I sent to the mailing list last month - I've added this info at the end: - --- Before we left, he said that when he was in Monkey, he was "white horse", and now he's "old horse" ;) I gave him a gift from England, and Miyuki asked him the often-asked question - did Masako Natsume shave off her hair to play Tripitaka? He told us that she wore a bald head "wig". Shaving off all her hair would have limited her greatly in the work she got after Monkey - --- Thank you Miyuki for arranging all this for me!! ;) Howell _________________________________________________________________ Use MSN Messenger to send music and pics to your friends http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger - --------------------------------------------------------------------- + List guidelines: http://www.monkeyheaven.com/guidelines.html + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?
