"Elven Dragonfly"
"Elven Dragonfly" aerial dance or pole costume is inspired the Elven costumes and metal work from "Lord of the Rings". I used a variety of techniques to create the feeling of fine, gilded metal pieces. For the top piece I used a "reverse applique" technique to create the look of metal laying on top, like a piece or armor or jewelry. I also wanted to create something golden, organic, that feels like it's floating like fireflies!
The wings are metallic mesh and are airbrushed. They are detachable! Hooks and eyes are on the inside of the waist band so the costume is more versatile for a variety of aparatus. All trim is painted and patina'd for a weathered look.
Crown is extremely lightweight. It's made from gold lace and is wired for stability. Made with all the techniques from when I was a milliner for the opera. Horsehair braid bows inside for easy pinning.This is one of my labors of love!
