Shiny! (Worldcon Costume update)

[kproche]

Work continues... we're on schedule!



The original glitter-paint embellishment on Conrad's jumpsuit didn't read from stage at Conzilla as well as I hoped it might. It needed tarting up a bit.

Last night bovil and I went to lobolance's house for dinner and he'd very kindly cleared and vacuumed the living room floor so I could spread the jumpsuit out and glue some acrylic stones onto it to catch more light.

Photos of the freshly tarted-up jumpsuit:

	Front of jumpsuit with applied stones The original paint embellishment on the jumpsuit didn't read as well from stage as I'd hoped, so I've glued some flat-backed acrylic stones on to make it catch more light
	Back of sleeve detail with added stones
	Front of sleeve with stones added (right front chest visible in the upper front corner
	Closeup of one of the chest designs

I've got a few to add to the back, and *maybe* a couple on the legs, but it's amazing what just a little bit of embellishment can do. Not bad for something that started out a painter's jumpsuit, eh?

Those big starbursts with red jewels look like, um, er, areola? Or are they placed up higher???? Are you going to have flares on the pants, too?
Otherwise, looks...SHINY!

They are higher. If you go into the Conrad album and page back, you can find some long shots of the original paint job on the jumpsuit. The jewels are just being put into the starbursts.
