Starfire's Jewels?

[shy-cosplayer]

Hi! Are there any suggestions of what I could use to make the jewels Starfire has on her gloves and collar?

I'm not too familiar with building materials, but I would think that any standard costume sculpting material, like fiberglass or plaster-of-paris, would work. Probably whatever is lightest so that it stays in the costume easier. Since it's a pretty small and simple shape, it shouldn't be much trouble no matter what you do.

Now, if you want them to flash with the red "Trouble!" alarm, that's a different story...

1) Your image gets blocked for hotlinking.  Now that I've found a picture, though ...

2) I'd suggest resincasting, actually.  That's one of the most common (and easiest) ways to do gems, particularly round ones, and it's fairly simple -- plus, there are a number of people out there who either sell them premade or take commissions for them if you don't want to do your own.  I did these suckers in a fit of experimental boredom one night playing with a mold and a paint tray, for example.
