Lances and staffs and spray paint, oh my!

Over the past two weeks hazzahsword and I have been working on making some lances and magic staffs for the play.  First we took two five feet pieces of pvc pipe, some craft foam, paper, and lots of masking tape in order to make the lances. Once we shaped the tops, we covered the entire lance in masking tape. Then we spray painted one blue and the other orange.

For the staffs, we again took five foot pieces of pvc, but instead of using crafting foam and tape, we took a field trip to the prop room. We went there to get some inspiration and some materials to make our beautiful creations. We found some mardi gras beads, a ball covered in shiny plastic, some rope, and a wooden ball. I was in charge of making Fata Morgana's (evil witch)  staff while Hazzahsword made Celio's (good wizard). We also had to make these stable enough for a battle scene, so we put wooden dowels inside the pvc, and then again attach the dowel to the top. Then we hot glued them together to ensure that they stay together. After all of this they are finally ready to be tested out tomorrow.
