I got the skirt done, that was easy.
I turned two old vampire cloaks into the overskirt, also easy.
Now I'm stuck.
I made a fascinator to act as the headpiece, but I have something like 4 months till the convention (Armageddon) and I just don't know what I want to do. Do I want a long wig? A short wig? An ombre'd wig with curls?
Do I want to make my top from the black and silver pinstripe that I bought specifically for it, or do I want to cheap out and buy a 'corset' instead? I mean, its not a competition piece so I don't have to handmake 75% of the costume. If all else fails, I guess I could relace my Ursula corset with white or black ribbon, and put it over a white teeshirt.
I still have to make the cake.
Couldn't find Whipple anymore, so I followed a DIY to make a decorating cream out of talc and glue. It works, surprisingly.
Things left to do on GLaDOS:
- Paint hat box, adhere "cream" and "cherries". Find a way of actually CARRYING the damned thing. I'm thinking maybe a handle under it some how or wrapping it in brown felt so I can craft a handle on one side along with a couple semi-hidden latches to hold it closed.
- Evenly distribute the ribbons on the inside of the skirt.
- Find a way of attaching the overskirt to the underside of the corset/top
- OBTAIN corset or make top.
- Find and buy a wig that would work for this cosplay.
- Figure out how to attach a very front-heavy fascinator to a wig without everything failing.
- Remember to take spare batteries for the lamp, and make sure that the batteries are accessible.
- Decide what I want to do with my legs/arms. I'm thinking I might have to *gasp* make some white leggings to go with it, and then wrap them with black ribbon to make it look like cables.
Do I use these little balls to make her personality spheres? Or is that going too far?
4 months to go?
BRING IT ON!!
