    Amazing! I'm planning out this year's costumes right now (we're doing a whole family Star Wars theme). I think I'm going to use your tips for shirt painting for my husband...he's been assigned the role of Vadar (by our 5yr old). Thanks for the ideas and tips!

      Sorry for the delayed response, I have been out of town for a week. Yes, I do make costume pieces for sale, I do not always have the time to do it because my kids come first, but I do all my transactions through my Etsy shop. http://www.etsy.com/shop/ronedesign you can message me through there to work out details. I am currently working on a few projects/costumes, so I may not have time for anything very extensive, but message me and we can work out details. :)

      It is craft foam. You can get it at most hobby stores in 5x7, 8.5x11, and 11x14. I got it at Hobby Lobby. Its cheap, light weight, and easily manipulated. Hot glue sticks to it like super glue, and you can do a little molding and shaping with heat application.

    I'm just asking if how many days did you do that costume? Cause my kid needs it in 2 days.

    While the mask would take me months to do, I am stunned and impressed at how authentic it came out! Looks great - Brava!
