Links to Elf ear tips for the Matt of SpringHaven

Post by Zydana »

I was going to PM you this, but I couldn't find your user name.

They have the latex ear tips much like Tim's. I know they offer them painted in a few skin tones. (you might be able to e-mail them and see if they can offer something in-between if needed). In the last year or so they did start selling some silicone ear tips, but I don't like the way the look or the size for the price they are asking.

This is where I got my silicone ear tips. They don't make them or sell them any more, but they actually might have a small supply of them somewhere. If you're interested in a pair, I would HIGHLY recommend calling them and ask to speak to Victor (might be spelled Viktor) as he's the man in charge. It might take a bit for him to get back to you.. you might have to call and e-mail a few times as I'm sure he's currently busy with the Halloween season. Anyway, call and ask about them. I know they *HAD* different skin tones way back when. Also, to gauge size, my huge ears were medium.

PS- Aradani are really nice folks, but make sure you get your orders in as soon as possible. They are crazy busy during the Halloween season (They only have a handful of people and they make all their appliance stuff like ears themselves) and rush shipping is super expensive.

You can also get the ears sans paint and paint them yourself. My ears last game were built over a pair of Aradani ears that I salvaged from a previous costume experiment gone horribly, horribly wrong.

Thanks for the links! I'm guessing a lot of people may find them useful, and not just Matt.

Do they actually SELL those? :O

Because the ears were a pain in the ass to make. They just aren't something you can "make a pattern" for. I'm lucky the spirit gum kept them on. >_<

Those are new! But I hate having "two sets of ears" when I am LARPing, I'm much happier when I can fit them over my own.

Local prosthetics...

Post by Torakhan »

Over the Winter we may have someone local who can/will be making prosthetics like elf ears and the likes... no idea about prices yet though.
