Breathe: 
Rock Sash:


Another section of this project that needed to be created as part of the first costume was a 3D sash that would be attached to the front of the cloak and then attached to the hip of the base costume.

To create this I needed to be experiment with expandable foam. This is a substance that sticks itself to the fabric and then expands a lot.
As I sprayed the expandable foam onto the calico base fabric I shaped it into a slight curve so it would   curve around the body.
Once it had fully expanded and dried the foam was sanded down to create the weathered worn down look of sea rock.

This is what the base of the sash just covered in sand to give it some extra texture:

Once the sash had dried it needed to be worked into with paints to create the look of rocks. Several different layers of paints were used to build up the right look. The sand made the paint drag across surface which gives its a really good weathered look.
Lighter paints were used to highlight the higher areas.

Below is a final image of the sash:
