#prop making

A shocking amount of work went into making this little outfit... I completely underestimated the amount of time I would need to put all this together. Though a good chunk of that was me getting way too wrapped up in perfectionism... ask me how many times I re-did the smocking on the sleeves (On second thought, don't, it's embarrassing). Here I thought I had been con-crunching with Piggy last year... technically, I only just finished Kermit today, and the convention starts Thursday. Lots of internal (and external) screaming was had with this build. I did film the majority of it, with plans to turn it into a full video and reel in the future... maybe once I've had a chance to recoup from aforementioned con-crunch.

The stand is inspired by one of the infinity symbols that can be found on all of Rio’s costumes.

For the beach scene where Chrissie's remains are discovered, Director Steven Spielberg said the prop arm looked too fake, so instead they buried a female crew member in the sand with her arm exposed.

Mamizou tail finally broke after 3 years of abuse. Don't worry, I planned for this. Swapped out the metal armature and took the chance to clean the fluff extra well. After a few hours it's ready for another 3 yeas of abuse.

Just finished custom-making the final part of my upcoming Sanji cosplay 🙌 Pretty chuffed with both the idea and the execution here 😂

It was super easy to do. I found the party hats in a multicolored pack at Walmart. The blue thing on top came from a "balloon weight" in the Dollar General party isle. Then I just stamped on some circles in yellow acrylic paint!
