Description This peice looks so much better when it can drape on the floor.
I am very happy with the way these photos turned out, the ones I took in the gallary just looked like crap.
And my Mom got me two new mannequinns for my grad present and one of them is a man!! yay!! I can finally display my male costumes without boobs!!

IS THIS INSPIRED AT ALL BY LOTR? BECAUSE THE TITLE CERTAINLY HAS INFLUENCED MY VIEWING OF IT, REGARDLESS.

It's just layers of hand dyed cotton that I sewed together and cut to get the texture.

The Fraser Valley? Wait, you don't mean Fraser Michigan, do you? That's where I live! -^______^-
(I doubt that's where you mean though...)

This is how a costume should be I think. Because it actually looks like something a Lord of a Mountain might wear. You've taken into account the dirtiness and authenticity of color and just everything. It's really really awesome. My goal is to be able to design like this .

yup, all the gray is hand dyed. and you can't really see it, but all the layers are appliqued and cut into to add depth. I should put up some detail shots, its kinda hard to explain.

Very cool. It really works well. Whats used for the shoulders?

nolwen In reply to Lastwear [2007-06-18 21:19:27 +0000 UTC]

The shoulders are cardboard covered in newsprint, and they covered again with hand-made paper and painted with acrylics.

Wonderful! This certainly looks better spilling over the floor, more real, in a way. Excellent work!
