How can you not want to cosplay as a woman whose fashion sense is inspired by traffic cones? But seriously, Dr. Abbey is so wonderful. Also, she's kind of a unique character from the books. Being a recognizable character from a book series I love, I knew she would be the one to cosplay. |
Construction notes
I realized that I was going to have to figure out how to put these words on t-shirts. I decided to give making a stencil a try. For my first try, it wasn't bad. I think something that would make the stencil stick to the t-shirt temporarily would have helped, along with less paint. I used too much which caused the bleed. Since then I invested in the kit that uses the sun to transfer an image onto a fabric. Once I can get the films run through my printer, I'm planning to make replacement shirts. |
