Elza is amazing, I love the design, I love her history. She lives to protect her sister Alice in the shadow. She is proud and she is not afraid. Her costume is red (my favorite color) with gold and purple and her face is so cool. The first time I saw her I just falling in love…
This costume was really hard to do…. It’s full of particular.
First of all I start with the wings, they are so big! I start to study Autocad to design them to cut with laser. Then I’ve used a special plastic to cover them and colored with sparkle and glitter. Same technique that I’ve used for the little wings on the hair.
After them I’ve started to do the dress: search the right fabric, design the embroidery, made the petticoat.. During the work I’ve re-made some part ‘cause I didn’t like the result. But was not important: I really wanted that the costume was perfect.
I’ve made the accessories in different way: For the belt I’ve chosen to make it in Worbla, a special plastic. For the horns and the other part of the dress I’ve chosen foam with latex and resin. I’ve made the gems with resin.
The scythe was made with the help of my friend. He did a great job! It’s so heavy, but it’s amazing!
