Poco (Arc the Lad)
creation: June 2002worn at: AX 2002, Otakon 2002
why poco?: Matt loves Arc. He is insane about that show, too, which I never really understood. Somehow we got the idea to do Poco. Poco is super ultra cute, and so is Matt, so it worked out really well. It's a lot easier than doing Arc or Elk.
con notes: The hat got used as a storage unit and sat on. It's an unfortunate hat. RIP hat.
construction: I learned that making clothing out of felt is a very bad idea. Oh well, we all have our learning experiences. The hat was posterboard covered in felt. The harp, which also got destroyed, was paper mache over styrofoam spraypainted gold, with wire strings. It looked nifty, but wasn't very durable, unfortunately.
