#the most expensive part of this projects is honestly the paint i didnt expect my mom to buy actual gold paint

process of creation of my (biblically accurate) angel costume: days 1-4

the sketch

the crafting

painting

the gold paint was actually gold colored! i was shocked and amazed because i thought my mom was just going to buy a nice shade of yellow so i was so amazed seeing it shine

though it dried too quickly, a few strokes in and its already clumping up together and water also clumps it together, so we have to buy some paint thinner to see if that would work. neither my mom and i have no idea what type of paint it is too so heavily hoping the paint thinner works💛

so far this is what i've made in the span of 6 days! time wise it would probably be like, halved? monday to tuesday i only had the afternoon to work with so its one whole day, wednesday to friday i only worked for a couple of hours

day 1, oct.10-11: drawing the concept, making the wings, making mass amounts eyes

day 2, oct 12-14: making MORE eyes because, eyes, cutting down sticks for the halo's 'shining light',

day 3, october 15: making the halo, plus more eyes, and some adjusting and visualizing

day 4, october 16: painting

im very, very excited to see how this will turn out💛💛 i'll probably stand out from my class seeing as angels are more commonly known as human-like with white robes and wings, as well as saints being an alternate costume to the angels we'll be going as, but this is the one time i'll be more than happy to be the center of attention

i usually hate being noticed and i'm very not used to being acknowledged, being known as the quiet student who's kinda smart. back when i was younger i was also known as the art kid, and when online classes began, i faded even more into the background (not that i minded i was pretty ok with online classes) and currently, not many people know that i draw. but now that we're learning face-to-face, i'm displaying my craftsmanship and creativity proudly, like i accomplished my class introduction of describing myself as creative, i'll confirm to them and to myself that i AM creative (when given some motivation and within interest)

the next update on this costume will probably be after i finish making the headband or so!<3 i'll probably end up infodumping about the inspiration behind the concept and design, but time will tell when i make the post
