I am probably never gonna do a cosplay this amazing (because I'm lazy and don't have many cosplay opportunities), but I still love reading your posts on how to make things. I'm constantly amazed. (OH, and I did just do the Holtzmann Screw U-necklace with your tutorial. It turned out amazing :D)Ellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633183882046106769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-962161999934691442017-06-01T16:52:11.795-04:002017-06-01T16:52:11.795-04:00Thanks for sharing all the nitty gritty details.

Also, I agree - Adam Savage HAS to see this - he'll have you on his web show! Maybe you can subcontract to make complicated costumes for movies? You guys are amazing!!!

It was like a visual rubik's cube! And I agree - you mentioned earlier you might add some body fluff to give kids something to hug - the pool noodles were brilliant for the arms and shoulders, but maybe an inflatable pillow for the body to save on the weight? Can't wait to see pictures from MegaCon and DCon with you working the crowd!Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195671791450562607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-27243090657240540912017-05-31T17:32:03.110-04:002017-05-31T17:32:03.110-04:00You two are A-MAZ-ING!!!!!You two are A-MAZ-ING!!!!!Jessica Elsberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019628965799656944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-21562568674305852802017-05-31T15:27:25.355-04:002017-05-31T15:27:25.355-04:00I love the addition of the two fans!

He was (is?) a Cake Wrecks fan, and so invited me to one of his shows two years ago, then we got to say hi afterward. I'm still too shy to send him my cosplay builds, of course, so I hope someday he sees this latest one and approves. :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-35834967089002122352017-05-31T14:08:40.869-04:002017-05-31T14:08:40.869-04:00I can understand how you like being in the restric...I can understand how you like being in the restrictive costumes.

They're aluminum and can be drilled quite easily. We put an aluminum frame between them (tent poles) and a school chair with seatbelts. After we covered the whole thing with padding and cloth it looked cool. The head was a camel puppet. The whole thing was for a wise man to make his entrance on the camel with the other two wise dudes trailing behind. The best part is that the guys I used inside were six feet tall, which put that wise man a good nine feet in the air (hence, the seat belt). When they got to the front of the church they knelt in unison, the kid unbuckled before sliding off, and everyone laughed.Vanessa Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687868555242718263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-12936159736390079372017-05-31T09:10:52.698-04:002017-05-31T09:10:52.698-04:00Check out garage sales!
