Set/Location: Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS
Wig: Yumeko Jabami character specific wig found on Taobao
Costume: Costume and prop made by me, the shoes were ordered from Taobao. The costume is mostly made from galaxy twill, and the black top is made using poplin. Most of the red details you see are made from red satin ribbon, but some (like on the tie) are done using thin craft foam!
The prop was the first large prop I’ve ever made! The staff part of the prop was made using an old shower curtain rod, and the snake details around it were done using foam clay. The “axe” part of the prop was done using layers of EVA foam. Once I had a general shape I liked, I used a Dremel to carve out the bevels. I then used thin craft foam for all the details on the “axe” and then painted the whole thing by hand using acrylics! The prop is really light weight and pretty indestructible.
