Almost There

Grey Warden test photos! Please do not mind my derp face I could not stop smiling. ^_^ Wicked happy with the way this turned out, still need to fix the neck bit on the jacket but other than that it is done. I do plan making some con safe sword and shield. I wanted to make them out of wood but now that I'm thinking about it my arm may get super tired walking about the con all day holding them. Maybe if I make some kind of harness and have them on my back, like in the game, that would be cool.

I do plan on taking proper photos somewhere, sometime this week,  i am on vacation and  I want to do a TON of costuming stuff. Plus some house work too. But mostly costuming crap.

So stay tuned for some WIP and updates! ^___^ Yay for summertime and vacations!!!

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.
