New cosplay: Pride of soul (Accessories)
I began to work on the several dress accessories of my next big copslay.
1. The hair accessories
I used craft foam and golden powder (usually used on Fimo clay) to create the big butterfly shaped hair decoration.
Each part was glued with “coment glue”, also called “neoprene glue”. This glue is special: you have to put glue on each element, then let it dry during 10 minutes before putting them together. The glue adheres then to itself. It doesn’t glue to anything but himself. The elements glued this way are very strong. Once they were glued, I coated those parts with a primer because paint doesn’t adhere to craftfoam for long. You have to use a primer because the paint will peel-off otherwise.
The craftfoam I used was black: it gives more contrast to the final paint. If the craftfoam is not black, I use a black primer first.
The gold effects were applied with a school brush. I put a transparent gloss varnish as a final coat to both protect the painting and make it a bit more shiny.
Each pendant was made manually, I just bought beads and metal pendant in Insolite Creation shop. This was a simple but delicate work since some elements are very little.
I used the same golden powder to give them a more shiny gold look.
I then attached the pendants to the butterfly foam
I have now to attach this part to the wig, but that’s another story!
