Fifteen Minute Han Solo Costume

September 12th, 2009 by admin

I like to call this the Fifteen Minute Han Solo Costume, because that is all the time I had to throw this costume together for my buddy Fed.  I think that it turned out pretty good, all things considered.  He even made it into the newspaper!  Most of it is alterations of thrift store treasures.  Let me know what you think!  All in all, it cost about twenty bucks!

Elizabeth Swann Chinese Battle Costume

July 30th, 2009 by admin

Hands down the hardest costume I have ever constructed. With all the leather working, sculpting, and faux embroidery I lost track of the hours I spent on this one. The leather I got for free, and if I divulged how I managed to do that I would have to kill you all! I MacGyver’d the tooling on the leather with a block of wood and a screwdriver.

The hardest part was the embroidery. I tried hand embroidery for the tunic, but it would have taken me years instead of months to finish. It was way to expensive to have it done professionally, (as in 6,000 dollar too expensive), so I searched online on how to fake embroidery. I found that thread company Kreinik does iron-on thread, turned out to be my best bet. http://www.kreinik.com/ Though still expensive, (about a dollar a meter), it wasn’t as expensive as having it done professionally. I went through about 280 meters of thread and still didn’t finish the bottom of the tunic.  The thing about anything iron-on is that it has to be top stitched. So I bought some invisible thread and ran the tunic through the sewing machine.

I have to thank the amazing Jonathan Castile for sculpting the buckles. I’d say he did an excellent job. The initial plan was to do silicone molds and resign castings, however the deadline for the costume was looming and the terra cotta clay positive ended up on the end product. It’s holding up pretty good.

I premiered this costume with the paint still wet at a comic-con party aboard The Rose in San Diego.

About Severely Right Brained

Being hopelessly right brained is probably the best way to describe me in my madness. Thus the name severely right brained. I am a writer, actor, artist, costumer, and director; among other things. I love the rain and I am such a bad cook I burn water.
