Cosplay: Deliriumby ~priscellie

Artisan Crafts / Costumery / Costumes / Cosplay & Role-Playing

My cosplay of Delirium from Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" series. I created this costume for New York Comic Con 2008, and when I wore it to a Neil Gaimain reading for the CBLDF, I got my favourite costuming story ever.

I created the wig starting with a short white wig from CosWorx.com. I dyed it a wild cacophony of colors using this recipe. Next, I took free hair in red (shot with dark red, orange, and yellow), wefted it together with clear adhesive caulk, put it in foam rollers, and near-boiled it to give it that great, sproinging curl. Finally, I safety pinned the wefts into the wig body. It's so much fun to wear!

The jacket and horrible dress are from a thrift store.

That makes you 1/18th Delirium. It explains SO MUCH!

That wig is intense.

Wig making is so freaking fun! I had a blast designing, researching, and finally creating it.

what an obscure cosplay, it's not often to see 80's cult costuming, i like it dude^^

~priscellie Jun 6, 2010 Student Filmographer

I don't think Delirium showed up until the early 90s, actually. And I see at least three or four Deaths at every con I attend, so I'd hardly consider "Sandman" obscure! Thanks for the kind words, though.

ah, haha, then ignore the comment(i must be sheltered^^ ) no problem, it is a nice wig by the way
