[Visas Marr WIP]

If she painted the pattern, you have to clean it frequently or it will collect paint on the back of the paper and distribute it where you lay it next.  I made several paper patterns and used them alternatively, then blotted the back after each use with a paper towel.

on mine after I was done I took some black paint that was the same sheen as my material and touch up areas that smeared a little. The pictures you posted look like it smeared a lot, but I guess they can try to cover up the places it’s not supposed to be painted

[Names Called While Trooping]

I’ve been called leia multiple times in my visas.  I guess cause they are both female?

Both have been approved! I took a few wip pics over the last few months, I'll add some details for what I did to make this soon

I had to shorten the veil by an inch or so, but otherwise it is good to go

I have been working on this on and off for a while and I've finally got it to a point where it's about ready to submit. I did both versions of the underdress and veil

[Swfangirl visas marr build]

I took a look at the fabric at Walmart and found a few options. They are cotton so not as soft as I wanted but still might work.

 

The one on the right is what I'm leaning towards

 

Here are a few more, the one on the right is the same one from above

Would the middle darker fabric color work? I didn't like the fabric texture, but if the color is right I will use that as a reference for other textures

[Swfangirl visas marr build]

I wondered that, here is some material I had at home. It looks totally different in natural light versus inside light.

 

The lighter red fabric is some I have that I thought about using for the belt.

 

 

 

 

The black fabric was pleather type fabric

I am starting my visas build of the unseen unheard version, would one of these colors work for the inner dress/headpiece, and the outer dress?

 

 

In the light

 

In the shadow

 

Another option

 

 

Here's a jersey knit, ok color but not sure on the fabric

[Darth Caedus]

My son likes this costume, so I made it for him to troop in with me. He is not eligible for 501st yet, but I wanted to post it for feedback. I've got some other tweaks I want to make to it but it's a good start.

 

 

 

He loved getting this picture
