Costuming Essentials

I’ve been sketching ideas for out there cyber punk looks. I want to incorporate unexpected materials. Could screws and circuits replace diamonds? Could light sockets and black plastic tubing combine into a truly couture and high fashion look? Can I convince my dad to let me raid his workshop for supplies? Only time will tell what I’ll make and only imagination and budget are limitations.

Just got the pictures back from my talk on costuming at the Shadows Anime convention! I’ve seen lots of pictures of people giving presentations but somehow its more fun in costume!
