True Faith

Hey everyone! If your like me, you sometimes spend way to much time dedicated to your pinterest boards. (yay you know you do) But in my defense I always end up finding some really cool costuming tip or trick. This time it was how to make your craft foam look like leather. 

Tin foil and an iron

That is it and as a bonus using the iron is heat sealing the foam so you can go right to the mod podge. 

Awesome! Right? Super easy. Thicker the foam the better.  

Did I tell you how awesome this is?

First time making a harness please don't mind the pins, inspiration by the  Witcher 3, damn those costumes are gorgeous.  I'm not done with it yet, though it does fits great not to sure on what shirt I'll be wearing with it. I also plan on putting some details on to it, fake pockets and what-nots.

I can not tell you enough times on how life changing this technique is for craft foam. Such an amazing thing to learn.

Beautiful right?!  aurgh I can't wait!

I'll be your teacher

So I got my levi wig in yesterday and I did s little test run I know my eyebrows are to wide.  Blocking out eyebrows id proving to be hard.  Just need to practice

Hmhmm

I did a thing.

 

I don;t know what I made them for buuut Halloween is coming! ^___^ I'm not happy with the headband showing is much... probably gonna make another pair with some hair clips attached instead. oooh the ideas!!

Givin' it my best shot

Happy late Easter! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with their families and loved ones. The bakery was crazy last week which kept me pretty busy and also exhausted when I got home everyday. I haven't been working on Kenway at the rate that I planned on, I am not happy with myself but real life comes first to costuming. My sister's wedding as also been on my mind all month long and I'm making a list of all the things I still have to do, nervous but also excited!! Planning the bridal shower and coming up with a cake design, I have an idea of what I want to do. Fingers crossed people!

I did get my new Mary Read/ James Kidd wig in the mail. I got it from Arda Wigs, love them! They really are the best cosplay wig company ever! I mean come on, the people that run it are cosplayers themselves! Our people!!

Right so this is the wig, no beads or man makeup on just normal female Mary Read. The headband needs to be tighter but that is an easy fix. I am in love with this wig, it is wicked nice.

And because I was bored and thinking of new costumes for the up and coming Ren-Faires. I did a thing.
