Hey guys, I'm pushing myself waaaay out of my comfort zone and starting with the most time consuming part of this costume...im weaving the Ronin Gasa that Lightning (James Pax) wears as one of the 3 storms in Big Trouble in Little China. Full disclosure, I am in no way a basket weaver hehe! That out of the way, I'm trying to learn something new. Once I finish the grill pattern for the front of the hat then I'll go in and weave in the fringe to the outside and the top plume bit and I think I'm gonna get a test bit of the fibers and see how well they take to stains. I'd like to darken it up just a smidgen.
I ended up using a few wreath frames (12- 30 inch diameter) and wire for the framework and the fibers are raffia.
If anyone has any high res stills of the chest, belt area I would be eternally greatfull!
