Day 5: And now for something completely different
This is an experimental blogging day to try and push your creativity in blogging to the same level that you perhaps push your creativity in the items you create.
Well I’m going totally different for this and blogging not about knitting at all. This weekend in fact I am planning on working on a different craft project. I plan on building myself a cyberwoman costume. I’ve mentioned costumes in the past but usually focus on sharing the finished product.
Today let’s see where I’m starting and what I want my end to look like.
Cyberman Mask that I would have to alter extensively or may just not use at all.
Two yards of silver fabric I have to make look like robotic body parts.
Some stiffer silver Leather like fabric to turn into straps and piping.
The cheerleader top and boy shorts that make the base of the costume. That happen to not be the same silver as the fabric. Oh that’s going to be a fun thing to work out.
I still have to get a hold of gloves, shoes and a way to make the headpiece. This costume is going to take work to get from that pile of miscellaneous fabric, odds and ends to something that can be recognized as this with a couple modifications.
Especially when one is using an action figure and screen shots as reference material.
Maybe there will be an in progress post once 2KCBW is over.
