Elsa Sequin testing Small problem with trying to get photos, the sequins flash green mostly when vertical, when flat they look really purple. But in scale they are a nice match to the sequined fabric and do indeed blend in between the other sequins. So these are the Athena “green aqua” cornflower blue which…

Elsa sequins
Elsa sequins May 15, 2014 by michaela de bruce Well here’s an interesting thing. I used a cutter to just test how my various materials look as cut properly. Turquoise upper left, Blue Iris upper right, cornflower blue lower left. Under natural lights the turquoise is darkly mirrored, it’s not as pale as it appears…
Elsa, plans being tested and they work :)
Elsa, plans being tested and they work 🙂 May 14, 2014 by michaela de bruce Just a super short test using a test pattern. That is the Shimmer Sheetz cut in to 10mm squares. The test cutting patterns also do rounded rectangles 🙂 The smaller the shapes the more glassy they look 🙂 So I’ll see if…
Elsa screencaps and musings :)
Elsa screencaps and musings 🙂 May 1, 2014 by michaela de bruce Sparkle of doom! This is so like a big torchlight solo, oh hey given the music was written by B’Way peeps this may be part of the rationale behind her Diva gown? I think of it as her Broadway Diva gown because really…
A few Elsa costume quotes,
So, the frozen art book has a lot of cool stuff. Of note is the tense- everything is written as if it was pre-production. So I’ll add in my conclusions below. Giaimo put Elsa in a triangular aqua cape decorated with snowflake patterns. I think this describes the art work which is indeed aqua. The…
Oh dear… my worlds are coliding!
Ummm.. I’m looking at Elsa’s snowflakes and seeing b cells presenting antibodies… IgM is a pentamer but still, I see immunoglobulin polymers even if they don’t exist! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibody Would anyone notice if I snuck an IgM in there? Pretty sure that’s from a discworld novel- a non six sided snowflake just to see… Discworld Jack…
Elsa nightmare mode indeed
The colour of her cape is impossible to get. And harder to dye. I have had electric purple, sea green, dark indigo. And lavender. The lavender is the last go. It’s warm blue during the day. Now to decide if the nylon percentage will grab a nice pure blue or if it will go more…
More colour theory
As Frozen really used a lot of it (especially in regards to the ice). http://www.huevaluechroma.com/077.php Please note Warm blue is towards the red and cool towards the yellow. I lot of people get this back to front but yes, a green toned blue is cooler than a “true” blue! It’s a bit of a human…
Making sequins/spangles
(Hello people coming here from tumblr! Just as an update- I am waiting on an order of similar width sequin film to test for durability and ease of use. I keep having on and off issues with being able to scratch the Shimmer Sheetz however the colour is so perfect.. So I’m also going to…
Elsa colours
Sigh I have been having issues with working out what colour scheme to go for. At the cinemas her gown is seriously green. However the promo artwork has been tweaked cooler to the point her sleeves look purple. So I am aiming for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssVnSg2jwUw Note how her cape clashes with her dress? Awesome. I…
