Costume Progress.

Made some good progress on the costuming, today, although the pix might have you thinking otherwise.

Lucy!Saxon cufflinks. Some dry-brushing of the cast I took from a friend's ring helped bring out the detail. The picture looks terrible, because it's so bloody close up, but they're fine in the, er, flesh. They're about half an inch across, so, yeah, every single wobble in my hands and glob in the paint is frightfully apparent. I have to do one more coat of the green paint, seal it all and get fiddly with some buttons to fake a cufflink assembly.

Sybilline Sister dress. I'm not all that happy with it but, er, there it is. For what it's worth, it looks a bit less frumpy on me than it does on the dress-form. Now I've got to hope I can find some "ethnic" jewelry at the thrift store...

Thankee. It's something that shadoweave found. I had a zillion sequins on it that had to be cut away but it was worth it. I just wish there had been on more yard on the bolt - or that the three yards I got weren't in 2 x 1.5yd pieces - I wanted to cut the whole thing much fuller than it actually is. Oh well, 'tis just a hall costume and I need to be a bit more relaxed about that sort of thing. ;)

Weeeeell, if you look quite closely, you'll see the embroidery (flower pattern in fine red thread) on it, but it's pretty much invisible from more than two feet away and, heck, adds a rather flame-like pattern to it (if you squint a bit) and so I'm quite pleased by that happy side-effect. :)
