The detail has started (Posted 8th December 2009) Dress - well the basic shape was worked out and i have begun to add the detail and loats of beads and now my fingers hurt as i keep stabbing myself! lolz (i have sat for 4 weeks solid just beading the dress and it is about 70% finished with the beads and the enbridery is finaly done) |
|
The Armour process (Posted 25th November 2009) well today i started on my shoulder armour for Rosa its starting life as paper mache on a balloon sized to fit my shoulder so one layer down several more to go xx now (7 layers later ) im making paper mache pulp to thicken and add detail to the shoulder armour after this stage comes the finishing paper mache which is made from tissue paper pulp which will leave a smooth finish and i will use this stage to make the horns and raised detail on the armour design then i will seal the armour with several coats of glue then white paint, i have been using this tutorial http://papiermache.co.uk/tutorials/some-advanced-papier-mache-recipes/ for my paper mache recipes which has made so much difference to the way i used to paper mache :} |
|
The end is near ! (Posted 24th November 2009) well i have been working on this cosplay for about 6 months now and learned alot of new tricks as this has been the most chalenginc cosplay i have done! Never ending cape saga the dress Arm warmers the material i have used for them came from my first cape and as i spent 2 weeks enbroidering it i had to savage it and they make the cutest arm warmers ever Boots Bow and Rose arrows so now i have made a new one and its a bit bigger than the last one and is till in the early stages the rose arrows are made from fake white roses slid inside a straw and the arrow tip is made from clay then i added a few white feathers and ribbons to them to finish off the detail i will also be working on a holder for them to sit in attached to my belt |

Oh wow! This is really amazing, she's my fave too ^^
Just wondering what materials have you used for the shoulder armour, I want to make orignal Aeris' armoury parts and have no clue what to use lol XD
awww ty so much
ummm u can use alot of things for the armour i used silver material and metal buttons when i did my Aerith
i used craft foam for the tiara but im going to use either plastizote or wonderflex for the shoulder pads so you may want to try those good luck with it let me know how you get on! xx
Thanks so much xxx

This might sound daft, but how did you manage to add a curve to your craft foam? And what thickness is it? Im after building some armor soon and Im not sure how thick the foam should be o.o
aww ty muchley xx
it was normal thickness craft foam just 2 peices stuck together then heated with the heat off the cooker ring then when soft i put it over a empty 2ltr juice bottle and left next to a open window and left it over night to harden.
hope it helps xx
wow all the detail is looking awsome and very pretty, can't wait to see this finished!
