This was pretty simple to make. Just cut out the shape of it on a single piece of brown fabric of your choice, I used a fabric I found along side some Native American fabrics. It was soft and some what thick but not heavy and seems to breath pretty well. Then you just cut out the trimming out of fake fur and so it on. I made the fur twice the size I needed so I could fold it over the bottom so no one could see a seam. Lastly you get some ribbon that is long enough to tie around your waist and hang down a little and so it into the hem on the waist.
Here's the shoe. Its not done. The dark brown fabric is just pinned on and the fur is just set there. I need to get fabric glue for them. I found the shoe itself at Good Will. Much better than trying to make it or buying it new.
Korra's armband and hair slips. I bought these at a shop on Etsy called Neatknits. The girl who owns it was really nice and didn't mind the rush order of a weeks notice, which was nice. (Yes I rushed it because time gets mixed up in my head and I thought it was already the end of July when I ordered. Forgot my birthday hadn't passed yet) Anyways, these are great and made sturdy.
So this is my Korra wig. No that isn't me. It's a boy.... My boyfriend. Ah what he does for love. For his pride he made me blot out his face though his face won't be blotted out in pictures where he isn't in a wig. To tell the truth this wig wasn't what I expected from the description or pictures. It's hard to work with and the knitting underneath is easily seen when I tried to make a neat pony tail. After about an hour of messing with it could I even get this far. And as you can tell the hair slips aren't even in yet.
Mako's scarf. I got this at Good Will as well and it only need one thing changed. It's connected at the ends so I'm going to cut it closer to date and let it fray to show some sort of aging. I love this thing! In fact this was the first time I let roger wear it and it's for his cosplay!
Anyways, that's it for now. Hope you guys enjoyed the update and I will be trying to update within the week. Hopefully with Mako and Korra's tops and maybe even WIP of the full cosplay like what I did for Bolin. Also hopefully Bolin's will be finished and a real photoshoot will be posted this week. Keep an eye out and happy cosplaying!
P.S. If you have any pictures of yourself cosplaying or others that you think deserve a spotlight let me know and I'll be happy to post them. I plan on making a Cosplay spotlight page soon.
I like your cosplays for what I can see... But yeah the wig looks a little odd, like for one why is there blue in it anyway? o__o
ReplyDeleteGood luck~
Well that blue is the shine not the color XD It was just because I had to have the flash on to get a decent picture.
