A few weeks ago I found this great little jacket at a Banana Republic outlet, perfect basic for spring, right?
Silly me, I can't have basics.
A couple hours after buying the jacket, it all just hit me at once: Captain America, Swaroski crystals, glitter. It needed to happen.
To the craft store we went, and I started on it right away. I referenced a collection of old WWII Captain America comics, so we have boy Bucky Barnes, and the original uniform for Cap. I did a few figural sketches, but other than that, I just kind of went with it, unplanned.
I wish I could have conveyed how sparkly it really is, there's pink glitter all over my house (sorry kitties), and I used some legit Swarovski crystals and brass Tiffany settings. We do high class tacky over at Vixen Vintage.
I found a pin at
Disneyland last week (more on that later) that fits perfectly on the lapel, can't wait to wear my new jacket to see
Age of Ultron!
