Pleo costumes
kat:
Yep I did use pipe cleaners inside the antennae. It was the easiest way I could think of to give them the right shape. :P
They do have the same black velvet as the hood covering over them so that they have the right look. :)
kat:
Ok here is costume idea number 2! ;D A turtle ;D
More details...If I end up making these to sell I would make the shell edge longer so that it sticks out past the pipe cleaner edging that you can see here. That way it will look more like a real turtle shell. For a first try I think this turned out quite well but it is only a proto type as the design needs to be tweaked before it would be ready to make as an item to sell.
I added the pipe cleaner in a tube to the rim of the shell after I had completed the garment as I felt it needed a little lift. In reality I would sew this on long before the whole thing was put together so it would be more hidden with the shell over hanging the edge to cover it.
If you all like the idea I will make another one so you can see how it will look done properly :D

I think this is very cute and perfect on this guy with the grey on his legs, ( outfit) and around his eyes, it looks like it is part of his natural "skin", :D Well done and with your outfits, we are able to transform our Pleos into anything we want. You and IMR are both very capable of some great outfits and I wish I could win like $500.00 just for Pleo accessories here on the forum! :o 8) RWM Must be why I shop the thrift second hand stores so much and make so many no sew outifts...

Omigosh Kat! If possible, I like the turtle pleo even more than the ladybug :D !! I was looking at the picture and my brother walked by behind me and he was like " :o NO WAY the Innvo people are making robotic turtles now?!! I want I want!!" and I had to explain to him that it's just a dinosaur in an exquisitely made turtle shell :P so that shows you how well you did; your little dino passed for a real turtle! ^^ Well done!!
Crewella:
That's wonderful, Kat - the structure you've put on the shell is a great idea. As Wicked Lovely says, it works really well on a Pleo - very convincing! :D
