mehanchan as Griselda

Griselda

Cosplayer: mehanchan
This was the second big costume I ever attempted and the first to require anything aside from using sewing skills.

All of the armor pieces are made from craft foam molded to my body parts with dip and drape (it's something used to make casts) so it would keep the shape of said body part.

All the armor pieces were painted with acrylics mixed with Jacquard metal paint flakes to make them look like shiny armor since she was a Valkyrie Princess and all.

The actual sewing aspect was not all that bad. I modified an old bodysuit pattern and added the leather skirt on top which I gromited to make look like a real ancient craft. I used heavy batting in the gloves to make them have the 'peeling' effect like a banana.

Every wig I've ever worn is pretty much custom dyed. I dyed this one to be a greyish color from a light blonde. To make the bun in the back I used a donut shaped hair piece to pull the hair though and then french braided around it to make the braid in the back.

All the feather-work is by hand on top of small pieces of cardboard with velcro on the back to hold them on my hips. I used both whole feathers and feather fluff.
