Art,Dolls and Coffee: Cyclopes and Hairy fingers PART 2

And to the Cyclops... (Click on the pics for a larger view)
Last blog I showed face repaint /sculpt and hair
Tonight costuming and tats and weapons

Cyclopes were never really known for having the most shiny pristine armor or clothing.I wanted to go with a home-made looking armor

For her costuming I struggled with the colors for this because I loved her hair color so much I didn't want to take away from that.So I went with a Sky blue and cream theme.

I started by making the armor out of polymer. I keep an extra body around..( oh that was funny to type)

to size clothes and bake the armor on.

With that tiny torso and wide hips ,Monster Highs are a little tricky to clothe.

I wrapped white polymer around ( not all the way) and cut tiny pieces of tan polymer to create stitching.

To seal on the stitching I used Liquid Sculpty .. and bake.I do a few bakes at a lower temp to not lose the original color..Sculpty will darken if baked too long or hot.. Hate THAT!

Skirt and sleeve of a linen type Sky Blue material

One day I'll actually write down the pattern for some of the clothes I make ,I either eyeball it or wrap fabric around the doll to size

costume almost finished with a tiny hole in the naval for her belly button ring.
I thought about being a Cyclopes and thought 'If I came from a tribe or race of being with only one eye, They would be Obsessed with eyes!... Kinda how I obsess about cheesecake and fitting rooms with good lighting.......meh.". for the shield I found a great medallion at the craft store,attached a handle and painted the center stone and eye.
