With christmas fast approaching santa’s elves must be hard at work. At teampxie we have been wrapping up elves shoes and elves tights and the topic of conversation today has been elves and their names and what where santa’s elves called. 

we had to google it in the end and this is what we found out .

 

1. Alabaster Snowball – Administrator of the Naughty & Nice list.

2. Bushy Evergreen – Inventor of the magic toy-making machine.

3. Pepper Minstix – Guardian of the secret of where Father Christmas’s village is located.

4. Shinny Upatree – The oldest friend of Santa and the cofounder of the secret village in Lapland.

5. Sugarplum Mary – Head of the Sweat Treats, she is also known as Mary Christmas. She is an assistant to Mrs Claus and helps her in the kitchen.

6. Wunorse Openslae – Designer of Father Christmas’s sleigh and responsible for its maintenance. He also looks after the reindeers and it is believed that his reindeers reach speeds faster than Christmas tree lights.

 

 On 6th of January or the last day of Christmas, it is believed that the elves light up their torches and come down from their secret village in the mountain to play in a secret field and celebrate the successful completion of their Christmas project.

Rigid Collodion

Posted in face paint, halloween, halloween make, Kryolan, rigid collodion on September 27, 2011 by teampixie

Rigid Collodion also called “Scarring Liquid”, and widely used in theatrical makeup special effects to simulate shapes of wounds and scars.
It’s particularly popular for The Joker cheek scars.
It works by wrinkling the skin as it dries, leaving a puked  area very similar to healed scars. It’s usually applied with a brush in multiple coatings, each layer reinforcing the effect by deepening the scar.
Rigid Collodion it’s extremely flammable and contact with the eyes should be avoided . It should be stored in a cool place, out of reach from children and used in a well ventilated room/
Before application it must be tested on a small spot of skin to check for allergic reactions
Rigid Collodion is available in two brands, Mehron and Kryolan<br />
How To remove Rigid Collodion
should peel off easily after one day, taking with him the top layer of dead skin
It’s not recommended to use the Scarring Liquid several times in a row on the same area, as it will come off with living skin and slightly damage it.
The more substance you have applied, the more difficult removal will be.
The special remover isn’t really needed as spirit gum remover should do the job.
If you leave your scar on for more than one day, expect your skin to keep a mark for a couple of days afterwards.
