Manhattan Part 8 Costume

Nice, those arm-pieces look familiar lol. Did you use oatmeal or cornflakes? I am working on part 8 pieces too next, but will be going more white/grayish, perhaps a touch of very light blue. I think it would be tough to sell arm-pieces, as everyone has different sized arms/forearms. I even struggled a little to make sure my own fit me! You could go bigger though you risk bagginess, and too thin is too tight. They are something that needs to be fitted, or perhaps an adjustable piece could be made using velcro underneath, and the seam being under the arm which folds over hiding the velcro? Hmmm that gives me an idea...Then I could adjust them as needed.

Yeah I made sure to coat the entire arm all the way down to the ends, although you lose some flexibility. But stretching can cause cracks. But gloves cover that area most likely anyway. Did you use acrylic paints? Also how did you connect the pieces to the shirt? Glue, or sewed? What are the pieces made from, fabric? Did you also use a gloss, they look shiny?I may experiment with gloss acrylic paint to see how it works for a wet look. However I love mod podge, and I like where there is very small areas of the glue showing clearish white, as it is looks like oozing pus. "a yellow-white, more or less viscid substance produced by suppuration and found in abscesses, sores, etc., consisting of a liquid plasma in which white blood cells are suspended."
