Some things I saw at Costume College

A super fun Steampunk Ghostbusters group.  I love the slime on one parasol!

Bunny's hand painted 18th century silk.  Hand painted!!!!

Fun light-up trident

 And Jez Roth's lecture on Using Fabric for Cosplay armor.  All these pieces are made using stretch latex over a thick fusible interfacing.  after construction he uses airbrushing to do detailing and distressing.  The pieces were incredibly light but the work seems just as fussy and time consuming as all other cosplay techniques (EVA foam, worbla, etc.) that I've seen so far.  I'd still love to do giant armor but need to clear my schedule to fit it in.
