How to guide:

Costume:

I bought a 4m length of cream coloured muslin. I cut two strips length ways, 1-2 inches wide, for the arm bandages. I then cut the remaining material in half and sewed the short ends together on one side, to make one long piece of material for the body wrap.

Rey’s staff:

I bought a 2m wooden pole, and attached different bottles, aluminum cans and plastic packaging to create the different shapes. Using papier-mâché and glue to create the structure. I then painted it using black, silver and bronze paint to create a metal effect. Lastly, I glued different types of muslin material for the handle.

The last Air Bender is one of my favourite Anime Cartoons, as it combines a good story line with humour and diverse charecters

Korra has the power to bend all four elements: Water, Earth, Air and Fire

I wore this Cosplay to MCM Comicon, on Saturday

Creation process:

I saw a beautiful, layered Victorian style dress online I loved, but could not afford. But as I’m sure many of you will have had a similar experiences! So I decided I would create my own dress!

I bought a selection of cheap Halloween table-clothes and used the material to design my own Gothic Victorian Ballgown (with corset and accessories)

 

I used black pencil eyeliner to draw a unique mystical pattern, and liquid eyeliner to add details. Have fun with it and just draw whatever patterns or symbols that have a meaning to you, or just whatever comes into your head!
