But alas, I did some work today. I wanted to work on a piece that would feel significant upon completion so my next part to tackle is the headdress. I have some black spandex that I worked with to make a tight cap to go over my head. Took a couple tries and the opening of the back, but I have something that works now. I might redo it though and loosen the neck as I'm not sure if wearing it all day will start to choke me >.>
The next part was working on the patterns for the crazy parts of it. As I don't have any sort of mannequin or styrofoam head, I improvised with this balloon. I felt the smiley face was appropriate ^_^
I swear I wasn't trying to make it look angry. That's just for the black part in between the pointy purple parts! The red balloon is to give a base shape to work with for making the pattern for the pointy parts as seen below:
I still need to work a bit to get the shape exactly how I want, but I'll then make pattern pieces from that to translate to fabric. I have a good feeling about this! A TON easier than my priest tier 10 helm!!!!!!
