Reblogging this to kind of pin it to the top. This is still true.

Instagram is the easiest for us, as it has the greatest reach, so it is updated much more frequently.

Hey, what kind of mylar did you use for your arm? That looks great!

I got this question twice and just answered it in the last ask. It was posted publicly :)

If you don't mind me asking where did you buy the mylar for your Winter Soldier Arm?

You can buy chrome mylar at most fine art stores. If you don’t have one local, Blick Art Materials stocks it. I used double-tack adhesive to adhere it to the foam. The arm was ultimately a failure.We’re already planning a new one using a chrome vinyl fabric that is actually reflective. It’s available from Mood Fabrics, and it’s cheap, so thankfully a single sleeve doesn’t take much.

Work on French Revolution Zombaes is progressing nicely. Lots getting done on jewelry and accessories.
