Natsu

Description

The bodysuit and tabi were made from spandex and drafted from my measurements. The brown armor is made of leather and was pieced together as needed for each piece. The beads were found on Etsy, gems from Michaels, and feathers at Joanns.
All the "feathered" armor is made of craft foam, loctite, E-6000, acrylic paint, and modge podge. The lacing is parachute cording with the ends frayed and knots glued in place.
The shoes were flip-flops that were modified with acrylic paint, craft foam, E-6000, and fabric. Finally, the swords were cheep ninja swords that were repainted and detailed with puffy paint. All the gold detailing is puffy paint. (Vanoa Cosplay did all the painting and made/refurbished the swords.)
I plan to remake the wig. But the 2014/sakura-con version was a Lyfa wig from Wig-Supplier that I added wefts to and styled with foam, bobby pins, hairspray (Got 2 Be Glued), and E-6000.
