Long time no cosplay! (or really..?)
The things I need to make my Elsa cosplay are slowly being delivered to me, and I've already started out on what I think will be the most time-consuming part of this costume: Elsa's beautiful mosaic ice top part of her dress. Wow that's a long title.

The ice that Elsa creates has this beautiful, magical holographic sheen to it, and after looking trough the endless tutorials and work in progress blogposts that all the gorgeous Elsa cosplayers before me have blessed the interwebz with, I found some really pretty sequin sheets and scrapbooking shimmer sheetz that reflect that just perfectly.
Viewed straight on they are just pale blue and dark turquoise (I have another lighter turquoise shade in between them, I just haven't cut any yet hehe ..), but as soon as you move them they shimmer in pink, light purple, green and gold.
I cut them all by hand, with a regular scissor, since I want them in different shapes and sizes. It actually works very well, but I try to work a little every day so I won't wear my hands out too much (it's happened before, and not being able to craft without being in pain was agony enough by itself..!)
I can't wait for the rest of my materials to get here so that I can start making everything!
Until next time! ♥
