Another Cosplay Antics post this week due to lack of funds and
baking ingredients. Last week's post was a Vengeance VS Wonderland mash up,
which I am going to keep bouncing back and forth to Alice in Wonderland quite
often in later posts- both Cosplay Antics and
Edible Books, since I'm in love with everything Wonderland and there's a
lot of things that can be used to tie to it.
Since Halloween's right around the corner (okay, over a month left but it goes quick- it's almost Christmas!) I was thinking about what I made last year, which was also another outfit I wore at the MCM London this year. I've planned to bring it back out of the closet for the event SCARdiff this year. SCARdiff's an Halloween/Horror movie convention in Cardiff (S-CARdiff- get it?) in October, so it's never too early to get ready and plan, besides, it was one of my favourite Cosplay's I've made.
Back in May, I finished the stripy top that will go under the dungarees
by sewing on little red buttons.
I did buy a variety of different materials, most being I bought
from Butterfly Fabrics. The wig I got from a local sweet/candy shop that had
previously been a fancy dress shop, that had previously been another shop and
from that previously been another shop.
It's changed a lot, the sweet shops been the longest run they've had in a while
though, yay for sweets!For the make-up/war paint I used Snazaroo, shaded, blended every other process to get the bruised, bloodied and scarred look. Or the, you know, Chuckie look. Along with that. a semi permanent tattoo and make up pens are from Stargazer. I also needed colour contacts, which I got for Blue Banana.
The leggings I used, the shoes I wore and the original dungaree's are all bought from Primark and I edited them to how I needed.
So, I know what I'll be doing for Halloween and Kirsty plans on staying in with the lights off and a creepy book on the kindle. What have you got planned? And most importantly, who/what are you going as? :)
