A brief, yet solid, book on aspects of cosplay that aren't well-written about, yet. Aside from armor, the materials listed here are good for some accessories, as well; there's a lot of options.
It's a bit advanced -- a raw beginning with crafts would want to work very slowly, and likely seek out other resources (more on this anon). However, it also feels complete within itself as to how to develop and complete a project. As someone with no experience with these materials, it's moved me to buy some Worbla, and start planning a couple of projects around them. That's pretty high praise from me!
The key aspect to grasp is that the book is a collection of well-written concepts -- there are no patterns, so she spends time giving ideas on how to develop out designs. She takes time to define the pro/cons of both materials, which helps you choose which is best for a project. She shows details on how she uses them to craft her works, and those examples are the core of the book. She also gives lots of resources, including links to videos that help show ideas, and to other tutorials and stores.
Also, since the writer is European, many of these resources are Euro-centric. That said, we Americans can get all the items she mentioned, albeit with fewer choices; same with Australians. People in Africa and Asia will have to order as best as they can from her provided links.
