The Crown!

Soo I'm planning to start off with the crown.
I will make it with craft foam.

Here are some links what people made with craft foam, really cool!

also parts of armor, I need those colours for my crown, but more like the left one, I really need to make it look like it's real gold ^^;.

the complete armor :P really awesome..

Well reading some blogs and tutorials about how to use it makes it more of a challenge.. It's not going to be easy!

Hmm let's see.. I've found a site where I can order them.. That would be this one http://nl.ebid.net/for-sale/white-craft-foam-sheet-a4-8543958.htm

And it seems like I would need a max of 10 sheets in case I screw up during the process XD.. Would be abouttt 11 dollars.. 8 euro's?
Not too expensive and the shipping costs are included!

Well now I need to find a good paint that would make it look like it's real gold.. *searches*..

http://www.alrhobby.nl/ Hmm let's keep this one in mind.. This site has LOTS of hobby products. I am thinking about buying their gold paint and maybe some gemstones.. However, this site is Dutch! So for my English friends it might be hard to read ;3.

Besides the foam and gemstones, I will also need pearls and pearl "chains".. But this would be a simple task. I have some pearl thingies here at home and I could also buy a pearl necklace and use it for the crown ^^.

And I think I would be down to the last thing I need.. I would need iron wire(?) to make the crown stronger and such.. I believe Laura has some, so I might not need to buy it myself..

Once I have all these materials, I will be able to get started! :D Oh! And I think it might be wise to order the wig and wighead and net in order to make it fit in ;3..

Let's make a small calculation :3

Needs:                                 Costs:
Wig                                       30 euro´s
Props (head and net)         ±10 euro's
Paint (3 kinds)                     ±15 euro's
Gems                                    ±20 euro´s
Fake lashes                         ±5 euro´s

Total:                                 ±80 euro´s..

80 euro´s for the head only O_O...
Hmm doubting about buying colorlenses..
I really do want them.. They´d be the final touch..

Well, the good thing is, I already bought
the royal red velvet (I suppose it's velvet..,
and black lace for the dress..
To make my skirt huge and wide, I'm going to need tulle(?) for
the petticoat.

I already have one black petticoat. I think I might use
that petticoat for this. And I also have app. 3 metres of
red tulle. I might need an additional.. 10 metres to be sure
I think ^^.. Let's see how much that will cost ^^.
15 euro's! That's less than I expected :3

Soo 15 plus 80 = 95 euro's if I haven't overseen anything XD
But this costume will be ridiculously gorgeous, and outstanding >:3
I made the app. calculations bigger than they will be, so it can only be cheaper XD

Well, that's it for now!
