So, my pose isn't right. And I'm shorter. And rounder. And not as pale. But test fit on shade of blue. Armor bits are by @inkibus_of_inkiwirks #shadeofblue #cosplay #cospalyplanning #blue #armor #evafoamarmor #seeyouatdragoncon

The not to puzzle out the #shadeofblue hat thing..... #cosplay #cospalyplanning #wipsewing #ducttapedummy

Sometimes you just *can't* get fabric swatches and just have to order the fabric following your gut instinct as best you can. I'm happy to say that this time it worked out, and not only did I get the color combo I need for this commission, but the trim and gold fabric matched perfectly despite coming from two different company on opposite coast! I'm curious if anyone can guess what it will be from the colors show here :) #cospalyplanning #cosplay #cosplaycommission #fabricporn

so, I had this wired ripping fabric in my stash that mimicking the look of the blue I got. Its a bit stiffer, but I decided to use it for a mock-up. I'm trying to get the sleek look of the skirt in the drawing, while still being able to walk. #shadeofblue #cospalyplanning #cosplay #diy #patterndrafting

Running a test on fabric paints for the #shadeofblue costume. Since I picks a shrot pile poly upholstery velvet I'm limited to mostly fabric paints and not dyes to get the patterns on the fabric Some I've water down, other are straight out of the bottle. These aren't the colors I'm going with, I'm just testing with what I have on hand. Tommorow when it's set I'll see how much it wick under the tape how stiff the velvet got, and how much it messes up the nap. #blue #velvet #bluevelvet #diy #cospalyplanning #cosplaydiy #testing #fabricpainting #fabricpaint

Anyone know anything about fabric painting velvet so it stays somewhat soft and supple? I'm looking to use my airbrush, but most fabric paints I've delt delt with are rather stuff. #shadeofblue #airbrush #fabricpaint #lookingforadvise #diyhelp #painthelp #cosplay #paascheairbrush #paasche #howdoidothat #cospalyplanning
