Cnet has my helmet featured in the photo gallery on this post (With my name misspelled, but I have sent an email to the author)

Starwars.com featured my helmet and a bunch of other sweet ones in their artist roundup!

For those of you who missed it, this is the helmet I customized for the 501st project – for Make A Wish foundation!

I’m sending the process to the 501st Project website so they can spill all those details, but here are the pics and some info:

Materials used:

  • Ceramcoat paint (lots and lots)
  • Pigeon feathers (picked up off the ground)
  • leather cord
  • dollar store faux tribal necklace for the beads
  • Air dry clay
  • faux suede (I wanted another colour, but it was on for next to nothing a yard, and this was all they had left)

Check out the 501st project site for more details!
