Pokemon: Pikachu


Pokemon
Pikachu 
Completed 2008

Items Made: Ears, Tail. 

The tail is made from soft faux fur and measures approx. 30 inches long.  It was made to hang although the fur is probably sturdy enough that the tail could be hooked to the wearer's back and it would remain upright.  The ears are are made from the same fur and filled with poly-fill.  They're really lightweight and attached to a no-slide headband.

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Fairy Wings

Image
A Midsummer Night's Dream Fairy Wings Completed November 2014 Items Made: Two Large and Seven Regular Pairs of Wings I was asked by the costume designer at McLennan Community College if I could make 9 pairs of fairy wings for their production of A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare.   I had never made wings before, but I said yes.  They came out AMAZING and now I'm a wing making master!  lol! We needed wings for Oberon and Titania and the four named fairies in the play, plus they added 3 more because reasons?   My only parameters given by the designer were that she wanted them to be insect like... not high fantasy... and that she wanted Oberon's to be up and Titania's to be down.   This was my design for the fairy court.  I believe these were based on bee wings.  I thought bees were also fitting as the fairies flit about caring for the queen. For Titania, I used cicada wings as inspiration. ...

Fullmetal Alchemist: Lust

Image
  Fullmetal Alchemist Lust Completed Sept. 2010   Items Made: Dress This costume was awesome to make. We kind of deviated from the actual design in that we made the dress floor length with a slight train and there's a thigh high slit up the front of the leg (sexy). The dress itself is made from hunter green satin with a black chiffon overlay so the dress looks black with a green tint. Because if you look at a lot of the anime pics, the highlights are done with dark green. The gloves were store bought and the detail was burgundy cording hand sewn onto the glove s.  The tattoo purchased from an online vendor. If you want to see better pics, CLICK HERE .  One of the photographers nabbed some cool shots.  But they're his property so I won't post them here.

Friday Favorites: X-men cosplay

Image
I've decided to change my original idea a little... originally I was going to pic one costume or cosplay and critique it.... Well that proved way too difficult so instead I'm just going to grab several various pics... themed of course, and run with that... I'll try to make a few comments on each so you can maybe see it how I see it. So today's cosplay theme will be X-men.  Why? Because X-men are awesome!! Here's a really good example of Colossus showing the power of makeup and simple cosplaying.  This guy isn't that muscular... don't get me wrong, he's not scrawny, but with makeup and using highlight and shadow he's given himself the illusion of a much more muscular physique.  The rest of his costume is just a pair of cargo pants and an X-men belt buckle... a buckle of which I need to find one for my very own.  I really would have like to seen one of Colossus' more recognizable costumes though... But that's okay.  You don't see ...
