All last week I struggled with craft foam trying to make armor for Daenerys. My struggle however, proved futile as I didn't have a dress form and it's really hard to see what shapes will actually look like on me without a form simply because I am not a master pattern-maker. Through a series of events I learned that my grandmother had a dress form and no need of it so I picked it up yesterday and now have one. Yay! I'm hoping my armor-making will go by much faster now that I have a form. (Her name is Phyllis. Expect an armor post soonish if all goes well.) And since I feel I must have some actual progress in this seemingly unimportant post... I found some old knee-high socks in my dresser that have these big holes in the bottom. Pretty useless right? WRONG! I stuck my feet though the holes and now have the allusion of thigh-high socks for my Alois. One more thing off my list! MadDog out!
P.S. Anime Boston's 2015 theme is "Kaiju vs. Mecha"--I'M SO EXCITED!!!
THE SUMMER OF COSPLAY!
- FINISHING MY FRACKING ALOIS TRANCY COSPLAY ONCE AND FOR ALL! This involves:
Finish the pain in the butt Jacket.Complete the vest.- Make some booty shorts.
Acquire black, thigh-high socks. - Buy a wig.
- Completing either my C.C. or Homura Akemi (both of which I have already begun).
- Making my Senior Dress-Up Day costume (which I thought was going to
be Zelda but now that I've taken on Hajime she may be off the table. I
dunno--we'll see).
Starting both a 833 M17UN4 C4P70R (Bee Mituna Captor from Homestuck) and a Trickster Dirk Strider (also from Homestuck).- Designing and making the shoes, legs, and bodice of my Hajime
Ichinose. (Preferably the arms as well but saving the wig, head piece,
and skirt for later.)
