Purgatory Blade!

I almost forgot to include the Purgatory Blade from Supernatural that I fashioned for my costumed convention shenanigans. Link to progress shots is here: Dollarstore Cosplay

True-color. Photographs pretty well, too!

Bad lighting, but this shows the weathering I did on the bone handle :)

Arc Reactor Mark 2

It's over! I finished the reactor last night and am happy to announce it will indeed be ready for Halloween!

Here I am wearing it, with different shots of it under different light. :D

I'm very proud. :)

Off the beaten trail

So in a fit of creative backup, I began work on an Iron Man arc reactor (the glowing thing in his chest)

Not even a drawing. I mean I'm actually building one! It's consumed me! It's sparking a part of my brain I haven't used to create with in a really long while!

Here's the progress shot of it thus far!

It's almost finished, actually!

For better progress of the reactor and projects like it, feel free to visit dollarstorecosplay.tumblr.com
 where I will post more step-by-step processes. This reactor is made only using Dollar Store materials and a string of LEDs. I'd love to hear what you think of it and look forward to showing the final product!

More to come as the project progresses!
