Our costumes were pieced together with traditional clothing and embellished. Jane, Judy, and Elroy’s collars were cut from heavy weight interfacing material … Read more

The Captain Phasma costume was my quarantine project and kept me sane during the summer at home. In the armor alone there are over 50 3D printed pieces glued together (constituting around a solid 3 weeks of continuous printing) to create the base, which was then primed and wrapped in chrome. After all the pieces … Read more
