Making of Dali Mustache 4

We are now trying to figure out the construction of the Dali mustache.  This time it will be skinny and long, so it will only covers our heads + since Dali mustache has a small gap in the middle, we are making 2 separate ones. Now do you have any suggestions how we can keep the mustache up??? that's our home work for today!

Making of Dali Mustache1

We started building our new Salvador Dali mustache for the High Museum Event.This time,since Dali has a super skinny mustache, we have decided to make not the whole body mustache costume like our other ones. It will be just our head!  We are thinking about interesting bottom half idea,too! stay tooned :-)

here is the photo of how skinny our new mustache is~

Mustache Sisters --- making of the Italian Mustache!

Hello!Nina and I are working on our new mustache which is commissioned by Philadelphia Museum of Art. They are having an Italian Opera Night for their after 5 event on June 4th, so they asked us if we can perform and have a work- shop.

Since we leaned about this back in March, we were so excited and we started brain storming!  Italian Italian... so our research began.

We were trying to incorporate some Opera images at first and having a color like dark red, black and dark green some sort of classic colors. But we thought.... hmmm... we want something light and summer.  Then we searched for some more Italian motifs, there we found so many beautiful curvy images and interesting characters.  And the pallet of beautiful light gray, blue, yellow came up in our minds.

So here we started putting together some images!

And can you see the peals?  We wanted to make this one as fancy as possible, after all this is for an Italian Opera Ball! After finishing the back part it's a time to sew and put them together

And here is the photo of us wearing the final version.  it became a nice Mediterranean Mustache~  we love it! plus this time we up-graded rest of our costume, too. Now for this Summer season we have a sparkly gold pants!

So this is how we made this mustache come to life!

Mustache Sisters

Mustache Sisters' tea party

This is my favorite collaboration from 2009 with my friend Nina Frenkel. Part of the reason this project happened was because of the recession last year when both of us had lots of time and kind of lost with our artistic vision. This fun and uplifting project really helped me though the slow and frustrated time!

our cute shoes

The Whole Project started from an e-mail we got back in Feb 2009 from Hungarian Culture Center who were hosting a mustache contest.  So we decided to enter the contest! Since we are girls who can't grow mustaches...we decided to make a huge mustache to wear it!

After the contest we did a work shop at Brooklyn Museum as Mustache Sisters, which was so much fun!!!

And For Christmas we made some mustache ornaments for a craft fair which was nice and cozy project.

I hope we do more this year,too! Maybe making a new kind of mustache to wear~
