Costume made by me and jonnymenace and worn by me!
Awards: Judges award at Colossalcon 2015
Construction notes:
Hat: I made my own pattern for the hat based around a cheap straw hat base that I found at the dollar store. I used heavy wire in it to make all the brim pieces stand up and bendable.
Mask: The mask was constructed by my boyfriend jonnymenace. The base was made out of 6mm craft foam, heated to shape with a heat gun and covered with worbla, we then coated it all in several coats of gesso and sanded it smooth. Then hand painted it with acrylic paints. I then attatched it to my hat with hooks.
Wig: is an arda wig: Jeannie in the classic color aqua. I used a tutorial online to resize it to be smaller to better fit my head and stay on. Then sewed in wig clips to make it stay. The ponytail is pulled through the hat and I attatched the clip on ponytail to that.
Outfit: The outfit itself is made out of a linen material, i altered existing patterns for the shirt and shorts and drafted my own pattern for the scarf by draping paper onto my dress form. the gloves are a pattern i drafted myself and fabric painted the design onto them, and tied leather cord around them. The outfit was distressed by hand and then painted with black acrylic paint to give it more depth.
Boots: I took an existing pair of boots and covered them with the same fabric as the hat and shirt, then tied the wooden rings to the shoes with leather cording
Belt: the belt is a bunch of wooden rings that i purchased online and tied them all together with leather cording.
