Nemo, kostim za maškare / Nemo costume

Nemo costume

  

Prošli vikend nam je bio vrhunac karnevala / maškara. 
Odlično smo se zabavili, a sad ću vam pokazati u što smo se maskirali.
Last weekend was the peak of our Carnival festivities. 
We had a lot of fun, and I am about to show you  costumes we had.
 

Inspiracija mi je bio Nemo, mala znatiželjna ribica iz mog našeg omiljenog crtića.

My inspiration was Nemo, little curious fish from my our favorite cartoon.

Upotrijebila sam:

• spužvu debelu 1 cm, dimenzija 1 x 2 m (27 kn)
• pigment (na slici od Jupola) narančasti i crni ( oko 10 kn po bočici)
• sprej, novinski papir, škare
• pištolj za plastiku

I used:

• foam 1 cm thick, dimensions 1 x 2 m
• pigment (the one you use to tone wall paint) orange and black
• spray, newspapers, scissors
• glue gun

Na novinskom papiru dimenzija 1 x 1 m (što je polovica spužve) sam nacrtala konture buduće ribe i precrtala na spužvu. Kliknite na ovu sliku da se bolje vidi - nacrtala sam točno gdje će što biti. Onda sam izrezala tijelo ribe, ove novinske"krojeve" sam ostavila za poslije.

On newspaper dimension 1 x 1 m (that equals half of the foam) I drew fish shape and copied it on the foam. You may click on this photo so you can see it better - I drew precisely where everything is supposed to be. Then I cut off the fish body, and kept these newspaper "patterns" for later on.

Ovako to izgleda; tijelo ribe 2 puta, rep isto 2 puta, oči 2 puta, bočne peraje dva puta. 

Leđne i donje peraje po jedan put.

This is how it is supposed to turn out; body of the fish, eyes, tail and side fins - doubles, other fins - once.

Sada ide bojanje - u neki sprej koji vam je pri ruci, npr. od sredstva za pranje prozora ili kupaltila ili sl, ulije se jedna bočica pigmenta i još dvije te iste bočice vode, dobro se izmučka i pospreja se spužva. Krojevi od novina se polože na spužvu na onim mjestima gdje će ostati samo bijela boja, odnosno boja spužve. Ja sam još, za svaku sigurnost, rubove novina još osigurala pribadačama, da mi se slučajno kroj ne podigne pa mi se ofarba ta zona.

Let's go painting! Use some spray handy, for example, a bottle of window or bathroom cleaner, or something similar with sprey on. Pour one bottle of pigment in, and add twice as much water in, shake well and spray. Lay down the newspaper patterns on athe areas that must remain white. I added some pins on the edges of the paper, so they are attached better / safer.

Kad je boja lijepo prekrila cijelu površinu ribe, pažljivo se podigne kroj, da se boja sa njega ne razlije.

When the color had nicely covered the entire surface of the fish, lift up the paper patterns carefully, so the paint on them doesn't spill.

Sada se obojani dijelovi moraju osušiti, najbolje preko noći.

Now these painted parts must be set to dry, preferably over night.

Kad se narančasta boja skroz osuši, prelazimo na bojanje drugom bojom.

Ove crne rubove sam napravila tapkajući spužvicom; u čašu od jogurta sam ulila malo crnog pigmenta, dodala malo vode, promiješala i umočila rub male spužvice (od ostataka) i tapkala po rubu narančaste boje pazeći da mi ne kapne.

When orange color completely dries, then you can start painting with other pigment.

These black edges I made tapping with a piece of foam; in a small cup pour a little bit of black pigment, add some water, stirr well and dip the foam/sponge (leftovers) and tapp on the edge of the orange areas carefully so it does not drip.

Neka se opet dobro posuši. 

Ja za ove svoje kretivne egzibicije imam posebnu prostoriju u kući gdje mogu svašta raditi, bez straha od štete. A i služi mi za sušenje ;)

Let it dry well, again.

I am lucky to have this special room in my home, where I get to do many things/techniques with no fear of making any damages. And it serves for drying ;)

Kad se spužva dobro osuši, složi se lice na lice i sa unutarnje strane se ručno pripunta / sašije. Jedini otvori koji se ostavljaju su otvor za rep i sa donje strane ribe / trbuh (tamo se ulazi).

When the foam dries well, you assambe it face-to-face and handstitch it on insides. The only oppenings should be the one for the tail and the bottom of the fish (where we put it on).

Na ovoj slici se lijepo vidi kako sprejanjem boja ne prodire kroz spužvu, nego samo oko 1 mm - sasvim dovoljno! Za jednu ribu sam potrošila 1 narančasti pigment i jako malo crnoga.

In this photo, you can see how the spray paint does not penetrate through the foam, just abou 1 mm - quite enough for this matter! I used only one orange pigment per a fish, and a little bit of black.

Sad je vrijeme za ljepljenje. Najbolji način za ljepljenje spužve mi se pokazao pištolj za vruće plastične patrone. Lijepite pažljivo jer su moguće opekline. Ja sam razvila svojevrsni imunitet na to ;)

Sve peraje se lijepe samo na rubovima, tako i bočne.

Now, it is gluing time. The best way of gluing foam for me is a glue gun. Handle with care, becouse you can burn yourself. I am quite immune to that ;)

I RIBICA JE GOTOVA!

AND LITTLE FISH IS COMPLETED!

Ovako izgleda moj Nemo, ima jednu malu...

This is how my Nemo looks like; he has one little...

...i jednu veću peraju!

...and one bigger fin!

(Na vrhu ove bijele crte sam izrezala otvor za oči.

On the top of this white line I cut the eyes oppenings.)

A Nemo ne ide nigdje bez svoga tate.

Nemo doesn't go anywhere without his Dad.

Evo i tate Marlina!

Here's his Dad Marlin!

I, naravno, bez svoje prijateljice Dore!

And, of course, without his fried Dory!

Evo i Dore!

Here's Dory!

Marlin i Dora su jaaaako dobri prijatelji ;)

Marlin and Dory are such a good friends ;)

A gdje je Scarface? On se navodno oženio i dobio sina.

What about Scarface? He eventually ger merried and got a son.

Evo malog Scarface-a! Uopće nije strašan :)

Here's Scarface Junior! He's not scary at all :)

...Just keep swimming...

U povorci smo svi bili u "moru", tako da nam se noge nisu vidile ;)

In Carnival rally we hide our human legs with this "sea" made of old sheets ;)

I evo još Nemovih prijatelja!

And here are Nemo's friends!

Kako vam se sviđa ova maska?

How do you like this costume?
