Description

"Let all Oz be agreed, I'm wicked through and through."
- Elphaba Thropp from Act II of Wicked/"No Good Deed"

Taken on-site at All Con 2013 in Dallas
Photographer: Nate at Neither Noir
Makeup/hair, wardrobe, post-processing, prop work, and model: CAJCosplay

This costume serves as a sort of stand-in until I finish my Act II gown. I still really like it, it's a very glam version of the character. The book was purchased from Barnes & Noble and aged with tea, coffee, aging pigments, acrylic paints, leather dye, and sandpaper in various different grains. There is also text in the book that I hand-scripted in calligraphy in a runic language font only legible to me, just like in the book/play! The pages feature both "spells" from the show as well as lyrics broken up in verses and spanning several pages.

Details on the book here:
[link] "To Grant Flight" and it's the spell Elphaba uses to make both her broom and the monkeys fly.

*The paint is MAC's Chromacake in "Landscape Green", and the pigment/loose powder is also MAC in "Golden Olive". Both hake craft brushes and cosmetic kabuki brushes are used for application.
