So after seeing the costume on someone and I'm not happy with it. It wasn't ready. The zip broke just before so I am going to replace that with a big thick zip.
Changes to be made.
- Put a zip in the hood. (It was difficult to get on and could be fitted better.)
- Put a new zip in the back.
- Make the neck join the other half by adding a few pieces. (I could leave it separate but I reckon it will look better.
- Cover seams with latex thickener and let that dry.
- Add more latex, pigment and thickener on top to costume.
- Cover zips in latex mixture to be hidden and put cling film in between to protect.
- Find a way of making sure it doesn't show?
- Placing tiny plastic poppers in side latex while half dry
- Sew tiny poppers in
- Keep latex clean and it may stick on its on.
- Not covering zips at all and using another type of fastening but it needs to be consistent and strong.
I was talking to a friends grandson yesterday, he thought it was a brilliant idea, with the environmental awareness part and wants to see it complete. He has encouraged me to get on with it and make it look awesome.
I was looking on Facebook and found this. The costume needs to be built up and have more texture. I am going to try adding tissue to latex. I don't want such big crevices but the effects round the side of the 'wound' look good.
