I don't know how many people make a flexible wardrobe of clothes for a character like this, but the love that goes into it is beautiful.

[@MissTwisteddd]

A lot more than you'd think once you start going into the LARP communities or Ren Faires, since they're dressing as the same character for several days in a row or even a week, and often camping/roughing it so have to be practical! I plan to get a lot of wear out of it and most of these clothing pieces I'll be wearing in my regular wardrobe too

[@angeldelvax7219]

An idea for the moths: if you take an old book (old as in: non-readable, not as in extra valuable antique... I really don't like to destroy books...) you can glue a bunch of pages together. You can cut out a moth-shape. Wind up a few moths, and place them on top of each other in the page-pocket! Now when you open it, the rubber band tension will push them all out, flapping away! And the beauty about using a book is that not only does it fit in as "book of shadows", but you can make several of these 'page-pockets' filled with wound up moths, so you can repeat the effect a few times before you have to wind them up again! Just open another "page" in the book and they come flying out again! I was thinking of a little "Pandora's box" first, but that wouldn't be repeatable a few times ;) As always, I really REALLY like your ideas, and how you make them. And I LOVE that you are teaching everyone how to do it! That speaker in the giant moth: you can just cut off speaker wires. Just make sure there are no ends sticking out that could short on any other components. Cutting them right at the board works just fine. That way you would still have a small speaker for other projects ;) Too late for this one, since it's really gone now :p but just as a tip for future projects ;) (I know, a bit whiny... I don't even have enough money for more than 1 meal a day, so I tend to get a bit triggered sometimes when it comes to throwing away perfectly re-usable components. As if I could even re-use them if you saved it XD ) They only fairly recently found out why exactly moths (and other insects) seem to be so attracted to lamps. Not going to explain it here though, I don't want to dampen the spirit ;) The moth witch deserves happiness, love and joy ;)

[@Sierra2S9]

You know what would be a great nod to the moth-lamp meme while also boosting the staff, adding a paper lamp so it kind of looks like a cocoon and with those flickering LED candles.

[@MissTwisteddd]

Oooh that sounds amazing, wonderful idea!

[@Nemokiddy]

I was also thinking that the staff could have some kind of lamp on it.

If you want more moths to stick on, there's a lot of moth or butterfly things in most floral decor sections. I know that Dollar Tree in the US has them as well in their craft isle most of the time on the side with more craft decor side of things. You might also want to consider working in an over the shoulder bag or satchel that can work, being an all weather design, that looks like something that would work really well for a RenFaire fairy

[@MissTwisteddd]

Oh yeah I actually have one of those! I cut the footage of it cos there was so much to fit into this video already, but yeah it's a great idea! I also plan to hang bags off my staff if I need to carry extra stuff.

@@MissTwisteddd I would love to see it.

[@Avrii]

Honestly comfy costumes are so underrated. When I only made costumes for photoshoots it didn't really bother me that it was hard to see or breath because I would only wear them for a few hours anyway. But once I went to my first LARP and my costume was WAY too uncomfy (I couldn't eat or drink 😭) this became so much more important to me :D Love the look so much! I always feel so inspired after watching your videos

[@dubbingsync]

It wasn’t until the outdoor section that I figured out why I enjoyed this so much, it feels like some character you would meet in something like The Witcher where you know there’s some interesting backstory and the character sticks in your mind for years to come.

[@Windthroughcedars]

The flappy butterfly/moths that you want to release are meant to go in cards. Then fly up when opened. Getting a costume appropriate book, or prop book. Would release them at the same time and fit with theme! I realize you probably won’t see this, but just want to say this costume is so incredibly cool. That you for bringing the Moth Witch to life.

[@franziskaibes6265]

Woooooaaaa❤.this is soooo great. I think the thing with covered eyes is: you can't read the face anymore. The hole mimic area is covered up. So you can't tell, if a smile is honest, or if you're giving a side eye etc. It's a mystery, you become creepy and a potential threat because you are not readable anymore.

[@dejahdanger]

I’m not even at the reveal and I can already tell this character’s kit is gorgeous. And I love that mask maker. I’ve wanted one of their masks forever.

[@trischas.2809]

About airbrush and clogging: * Potential pressure matters. Having a little extra pressure available can keep the flow good as just starting to spray starts to lose pressure - So you need a compressor that can provide *more* than you need. If the compressor can sustain 3-4 bar, that's about perfect. * Dilution matters. If the color tends to coagulate and clog, use an airbrush thinner and go 2 or 3 layers. Colors need to be super low viscosity in most nozzles.

[@alieM7457]

I don’t see a lot of KZbinrs cosplayers make animal puppets (essentially insects) with their outfits. So seeing you create a fuzzy Giant moth friend, really caught my attention. Fuzzy moths are hands down my favorite type of insect.

I love this. Every element is lovely, and the fact that all your clothing pieces are useable for other costumes is fantastic.

[@noodles6239]

i love that the winter version is more cottage core I think it really fits with giving people/creatures comfort in their last days of life

[@kaymaeg731]

I think the darker colors for the winter wardrobe work really well. If you think about winter it’s usually snowy and therefore very light. So the moth witch in a winter setting would really pop with the dark colors.

Unless you have a physical barrier, you should do it anyway! Age shouldn't be a barrier to creativity or anything else! Tired of hearing that getting past a certain age means you can't wear or do things anymore. Who made such stupid arbitrary rules and restrictions? Nothing makes me happier than seeing people older than me doing things that they're "too old" for. So, if you want to make costumes, make them, then wear them whenever possible! Be happy. Do what you want as long as it causes no harm. We only have one life, and it's short. ❤

[@sinithwar8991]

10:50 So, the reason why the speaker no longer works when you take off the plastic bit is because it doesn't have anything to vibrate. As for "don't know about electricity" all you have to do is make sure you don't allow anything conductive to touch you while messing with the wires. You could have just ripped the speaker out and just covered the metal bits with electrical tape to prevent them from touching and it woulda been fine. Small electronics are easy, but phones and stuff get complicated.

I watched the moth witch birth. At first right up to the headcovering I was feeling Gypsy. When the mask went on it all changed. I felt the change, the transformation from gypsy moth to moth witch.
