Thanks! I think, in general, I like the cartoon-y/exaggerated look for my props. That's also what drew me to ZP, the spooky-cartoonish style.
Making your own is certainly the way to go. If you make it all yourself, you get the image you want and everything goes together.

I agree with you. I have wasted so much time looking around for something good, that I've realized it's quicker and often cheaper to just make something myself instead. It also ends up being unique and you don't get people say things like, "I saw that in Party America ..."

incredible!
Your handiwork is nothing short of amazing. Your craftsmanship is so precise and creative. I love what you have done so far!
It is amazing what you can do with styrofoam. I want to come to your Pirate Cove!!!
You're too kind. I've seen your stuff and I'm just trying to keep up.
It would be great to have you over. I could use a CB touch to the party!
The
pirate ship is complete. I added the sails, flags, and painted some glowing windows. It might be too big and the sails are sort of translucent, but it should work.
The lighting in the room is making the sails seem purple-ish, but in person they match the ship.
Here is my
'Pirates Ye Be Warned' sign
I'm going to have one skeleton pirate hanging on one side and an empty noose on the other. The sign will be hung with the same rope.
The costumes are pretty much finished. Here is one of the scalawags from our crew:
We might have a full dress rehearsal soon.
