New Project completion Yeul from Final Fantasy XIII-2!
I was super excited to do this project becasue it is soooooo pretty!
Here is an original character photo:
Above Photo are of the Crown pieces molded with Worbla. Some where molded over craft foam to give them a little more thickness. All pieces where free hand patterned and modeled by me.
Above are the crown pieces before attaching together. All pieces where based with a primmer/filler and sprayed a base gold. Silver and additional gold where hand painted.
The boots base was store bought. (Above photo with flash- bottom without). The original color of the boots in the base of the boot. The rest of the boot was hand dyed. I also cut and attached the lighter colored fringe and replaced the laces. All leather materials.
These are the bracelets and necklace. Braided hemp rope -hand braided by me- also hand beaded by me. Necklace is secured between beads with a clear thread to keep the interlocking beaded look.
Upper arm bands- Once again hemp rope hand braided and threaded by me in this design. Upper photo if the outside of the arm- bottom is the inside of the arm.
Completed crown/head piece. Not sure if you can see but it is secured on the wig/headpiece by the inner combs.
Completed skirt photos- skirt is made from a wight light weight poly cotton. Original color is white- Fabric was dip dyed by me before sewing.
Top photo is a cross section with hem (clear thread used to avoid breaking up the color of the dye). Middle photo is a close up of the slit to allow the skirt to wrap around- As displayed on the third photo. Last photo is how the skirt will look on the body with the top band folded under.
Faux fur "pelt" This hangs off the back of the skirt- I think it looks like a Beaver pelt :P
Photos of the completed top- this was the most challenging part of the process. Top photo is complete top from the front. The white material is the same as in the skirt. The straps where once again dip dyed by me. Center hoop was also hand wrapped with the hemp rope. Center crystal is suspended with clear thread to create that "floating" look. All neckline crystals are sewn on. All beads at the base are hand beaded by me. Last two photos are the back of the top- zipper completely separates for ease of taking top on and off.
Last piece is the forearm cuff. As before rope is hand braided by me and hand beaded. Cuff is Bias tape sew and stuffed with batting and a wire to mold to the arm as needed.
