Hornet Cosplay making part 2!

To finish the mask I used Mod Podge (matte jar), and then an acrylic white paint.

*Very important detail for cosplay making: Have a curious cat on duty to get in the way of things/watch in horror, or simply to judge you for your life decisions.

For the needle I used a little foam ring thing, some silver/metallic acrylic paint, some hard foam poster board, a dowel stick, some white duct tape, (I covered the foam ring in it to prevent it from breaking), some gorilla tape, and a bit of mod podge to make painting on some of the different surfaces more even. 

Here’s my final result which I wore at Sakura Con in Seattle, WA!

For my cloak used a velvet like fabric to get the flowy affect. The the rest of the outfit is basically comfy clothes, i.e. black leggings, socks, some pointed flats, a pair of black gloves, and a black long sleeve shirt.  The collar didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped but I actually didn’t make the cloak until the night before con, so I’d say for a last minute, all nighters work, it’s pretty good. All in all though, I’m happy with my final product. ^-^

Senioritis + Sick + Snow Day = Spontaneous Cosplay Making!

It’s been awhile since I’ve set aside time to work on anything creative but thanks to a series of snow days I finally had an excuse to get started on my cosplay for Sakura Con. The mask is for Hornet, a character from the game Hollow Knight. (Awesome game, highly recommend). Good thing I’ve got three months until con to make this look less terrible, but so far I’d say it’s a good start, haha.  Materials used thus far to keep it light: - Tissue Paper - Scotch Tape - Cardboard - Little bit of Duct tape - Lenses from giant sunglasses (gotta use what’s available, haha)
