Hey guys! I've actually got a question. Prepare yourself for a bit of nerdiness. For the next anime convention I will be attending, I have decided to cosplay as Talim from SCII. Now, she's got this funky necklace, which you can <end lj-cut>

I just read the previous post about sculpy, and I've heard about other people using it as well- but I'm not too keen on how it works. I'm not asking for directions, because I could get that off of whatever it comes in. But do you think that this would be my best choice for making the gigantor pendant there? Or is there something better I could make it out of? Would sculpy be really heavy or lightweight? [has no idea]

Also, concerning the jewels (there's two fairly large rubies set in there)...any suggestions? I'll probably end up just painting the sculpy (or whatever I use)- but I would like it to be shiney. I can get metallic paint for the gold parts, but would some sort of glossy overcoat give me a shiney effect?

I'm poor -_- Usually I'd just try things out and see what happened...but my budget said no.

Edit: She's also got these hair things
