Thanks everyone! My ultimate goal is to work in movies. Anyone out there hear me? Hire me! LOL I'm working on a full size one for the guys now. People on ebay are asking me.
The materials... the millinery stuff I order online, or if I"m in LA there is a supply store there. The fabrics, I use upholstery fabrics, thicker and looks "richer", I don't use apparel fabrics, they tend to look cheapy-er.
