Yes it is Thursday, so Friday is the official count down of hours!

I'm waiting on the glue to dry for the white mage before I can do anything >> Stupid glue takes forever to dry, but we'll see how well fabric glue REALLY holds up.

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #1202 on:** August 28, 2008, 01:30:37 am »

I;ve never had luck with fabric glue. Mainly because a) I was impatient when I used it and b) I was using it on felt. I'm sure you'll have better luck.

Progress update! My hat dried, and I just glued barnacles and seaweed to it! 8D! I'm so excited!

veraca · « **Reply #1204 on:** August 28, 2008, 02:28:01 am »

I'm letting mine dry like 10 hours before moving it XD

Discovered last night at 11:00 pm that I had no clear spray gloss. Grr. Going to run out at lunch today and pick some up, spray the belt fittings tonight and hope they dry quickly enough -- though if the weather's damp, I'll just stick to the paint-on gloss they have on them already. Also have to pick up pin backs for the two buttons and glue all that stuff together tonight.

I think I've got my Miranda dress worked out. Whether that theory becomes reality will be determined tonight. I've got to do that and sew up the obi for Risai, and then call it done.

Oh, why do I not get off work until four? T_T And I have until about 10:30 tomorrow to do everything I still need to, which includes packing, because my flight's at two and I have to take my car in to the shop beforehand. Whee, panic time!

The other day i bought the shirt and the shoes, so all i need to do is get the wig and coat, then use fabric paint to add the stitching

Kumi-chan · « **Reply #1207 on:** August 28, 2008, 01:18:18 pm »

Yay, finished the sword for Ashitaka!

Rest of the outfit, as it stands now

Also partly finished the arrows, as you can see. Sanded the notches into the ends, stained the dowels, made the arrowheads, and painted the feathers. Once they're dry I'll paint the arrowheads, seal the arrows and add the flights.

Getting psyched! Now I can work on the Cardcaptor Sakura stuff for the rest of the day. The Star Wand's still got a lot of work left:

...but I'm going to focus on the outfits today. Finish the skirts and pants and make the collar and cuffs, and if I've got the time, cut out the hats and work on the patches.

Will probably make Ryouga's headband today as well, seeing as it's due Saturday.

Wow, I love your props. They're so nice looking and high quality. ^_^ *thumbs up*

lychee-twist · « **Reply #1209 on:** August 28, 2008, 01:59:17 pm »

Ashitaka's costume looks awesome, too! I can't wait to see it in real life.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1210 on:** August 28, 2008, 02:40:33 pm »

Yeah the props looks fantastic. Just as good as the costumes ^_^

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1211 on:** August 28, 2008, 02:45:05 pm »

My binding basically works! I has man-chest now! Er... Mostly. It could be so much flatter... Ah well.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1212 on:** August 28, 2008, 02:48:53 pm »

I am going to bind myself tomorrow morning for the Hikaru costume...and I wont be able to do it for Albel since I am changing costumes at the con....I could but it would be a big hassle.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1213 on:** August 28, 2008, 03:38:41 pm »

almost done with rikku's shirt. then i have to finish both gloves, the arm band, and the shorts. i figured out an easy way for my left glove. i thought, well it is summer and i will be warm so i dont wand a big thick glove with my fingers closed in all day. so i got an old sock from my friend and im gonna cut the foot off of it and cut a thumb hole. tada! instand thin, fingerless left rikku glove. then of course i have to sew the ends and fray check them too, but it will only take me 15 minutes tops for that.

Darling, you're talking to someone who bound her chest with Ace Wrap and was flatter than most men.

I'm a member of the IBTC.

Kurokaizoku · « **Reply #1215 on:** August 28, 2008, 04:28:44 pm »

Mrs. Osono from Kiki's delivery service is done minus a wig...
Kurenai (late manga costume, black dress...) is now done...

And now time to pack as I have to be at the hotel tomorrow.

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #1216 on:** August 28, 2008, 04:32:37 pm »

ZE SKIRT IS FINISHED! *plays FF battle end theme* Finished sewing, that is. Still have to do the painting. Twenty minutes, tops. ^^ Almost done with the Tiger Racket. I took artistic liberty a lot on it, since there is no close up of it AT ALL. And I ran out of hot glue... so had to improvise. =^-^= Then Pikachu's 'bolts! XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1217 on:** August 28, 2008, 04:37:14 pm »

I remade Temari's obi belt so it looks much better. Now it's two pieces attached (well really one piece folded over and sewn to itself) where before it was one piece with the edges folded and glued. It looks much much better now, and it's ironed so it all flat and smooth

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1218 on:** August 28, 2008, 04:41:48 pm »

I need to clean my org cloak and re-attach a few pieces on Esther.

veraca · « **Reply #1219 on:** August 28, 2008, 05:02:16 pm »

FINALLY cut and glued the white mage robe! Hopefully it'll work >< If it doesn't then.... *cries* Other than that I gotta pack everything and ship out of here tomorrow at about 3 ^^

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #1220 on:** August 28, 2008, 05:05:46 pm »

ok i was contimplating keeping my final chocobo a complete secret buttttttt heres a nice little close up of my eye make up for it

its a bit fuzy and the lighting makes it so you cant really see the fact that the rest of my face is a nice light shade of blue.

veraca · « **Reply #1221 on:** August 28, 2008, 05:08:04 pm »

Hm maybe if you can make the rest of your face a nice light blue + white shade, so it looks more like a pastel? That would look cool =3 It's better than making the face all black like the chocobos in the game >< Anyway loooove the paint! I hope it washes off better now?

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #1222 on:** August 28, 2008, 05:09:32 pm »

xD yepers no paint just normal make up now! it took a bit to put on though.....

Winfred · « **Reply #1223 on:** August 28, 2008, 05:41:21 pm »

Finally done with my inventory menu sign! 'BOUT TIME. Though I guuuesss I should add those item icons in front of everything listed...Maybe just bullet holes. I've given up at this point. Blah. Anyhoo, I should probably figure out what I'm wearing with this thing now. HOORAH.

It's not too sloppy, right? >_>

lychee-twist · « **Reply #1224 on:** August 28, 2008, 05:54:00 pm »

You kidding me? It looks great! I seriously thought you had just a screen cap there. For a second I thought, "why would someone have a menu screencap in a pos- oh! It's real. Deerrr"

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1225 on:** August 28, 2008, 05:56:50 pm »

I like it. I think it looks great....maybe you could make an arrow and put Velcro on each item so someone could move the arrow to the item they want >_>

Just a thought.

It looks fantastic ^_^

Winfred · « **Reply #1226 on:** August 28, 2008, 06:04:54 pm »

Ah, shucks, guys. -shuffles feet-

Oh yah! I was going to wear a white glove, so I could just point to the various items in stock. I wish I thought of the velcro thingy beforehand, though! Daaang. >_<

Oh oh ohhh, should I still put bullet holes/item icons in front of everything, or can I let it be? I can let it be, right? RIGHT?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1227 on:** August 28, 2008, 06:07:47 pm »

I like the white glove idea, I don't think you need bullet holes in front of them.

Kumi-chan · « **Reply #1228 on:** August 28, 2008, 06:40:31 pm »

@EveofAbyss, lychee-twist, and nikkiolie: Thank you!

Aaaannndd...I lied. I did the wigs instead. I'm glad I did though, because they took a few hours and wig-trimming's messy. Better to take care of it at home.

They're done, though, which means I'll take a break for dinner and then start sewing. Sakura still needs her little tails sewn in, but I'll take care of that after the mini-wefts are made.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1229 on:** August 28, 2008, 06:53:47 pm »

wow they looks really good. They look very similar to the Hikaru wig I have ^_^

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #1230 on:** August 28, 2008, 06:56:48 pm »

Wow, the wigs looks great!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1231 on:** August 28, 2008, 07:17:43 pm »

I got an issue here. I'm trying to iron a saying onto a shirt for the chess match, 'Pawn, one letter from pwn'... But yeah, the iron-ons won't stick. Should I just tack them on on one side and then flip the shirt over and iron from the inside?

Kumi-chan · « **Reply #1232 on:** August 28, 2008, 07:47:59 pm »

You want to press iron-on adhesives from both sides. Place your patch on the shirt, press for 10 seconds, and let it cool. Flip it over and press from the other side, then let it cool. Don't tug at it until it's completely cool.

What strength of iron-on are you using? Lightweight? Heavy-duty? What kind of fabrics? It can make a difference in how effective the iron-on is.

NightLotus · « **Reply #1233 on:** August 28, 2008, 08:35:26 pm »

Kumi-chan: your ashitaka is AMAZING!!! wow ^^

this is where my costumes are ^^ --->

the only different thing is my boots... they = MUCH better ^^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1234 on:** August 28, 2008, 08:36:20 pm »

I've already told you several times that both of them are amazing....but it doesn't hurt to hear it again

NightLotus · « **Reply #1235 on:** August 28, 2008, 08:39:05 pm »

thanks ^^

You make an adorable Link.

Higuma · « **Reply #1237 on:** August 28, 2008, 08:51:06 pm »

Those link costume are amazing. good job.

Kumi-chan · « **Reply #1238 on:** August 28, 2008, 08:56:55 pm »

@NightLotus: Thanks! Your Link really is cute.

@nikkiolie: No, it doesn't. ^^ It makes me want to finish it, which I think I will tonight. Arrows are done and they look fantastic, on to the quiver and the waist pouch! Oh, and the sheath. And the replacement portions for the arm covers. And the small dagger.

So close! CCS can wait until tomorrow, I've got a few days to work on those anyway. One last big push!

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #1239 on:** August 28, 2008, 08:59:51 pm »

Tiger Racket complete! Potion, Hi-Potion, Phoenix downs, Phoenix pinions, Remedy, Elixir, Antidote, pumices, aquamarines, sapphires, opals, topazs, peridots, rubies, amethysts, dark matters, garnets, ribbons, and Magic Tags complete! Actual cosplay; DONE! Friend's Pikachu cosplay; DONE! Wig; still en-route. (I'm getting anxious) All that's left for me to do is make the Thunderbolt for her friend's cosplay! And the Dead Peppers, Gysahl Greens, Vaccine, Soft, and Ether! Phew! *wipes forehead*

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1240 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:01:35 pm »

WOW congratulation on getting it all done. Now you have a day to rest ^_^ (kinda, more like half a day)

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #1241 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:09:21 pm »

Wait... oops, forgot I still want to get the Eye Drops and Echo Screen done. And got the Annoytment done. XD Eye Drops will be contact cleaner and the Echo Screen will be some sort of sheer screen/fabric with ECHO painted on it. XD Potion is juice, Hi-Potion is another juice, Antidote is iced green tea with lemon in a bottle with a dropper, Elixir is melted Popsicle, Remedy is honey, Annoytment is lotion, the gems are fake (except my person Garnet), phoenix downs are mint-green feathers off a boa, pinions are the same but white, pumice is... pumice, Ribbon is randomly colored ribbons, and the Magic Tags are random slips of paper I doodled symbols and japanese on. Still working on the rest.

The Magic Tags, summon jewels, ribbons, and Phoenix Downs/Pinions will be handed out at con. Maybe the Dead Peppers and Gysahl Greens too, depends on if I can find enough jalapenos and stuff. *evil smirk*

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1242 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:18:54 pm »

If I see you I'll have to ask for a Phoenix Down. What would be fun with a FFVII version of one of those would be to put a little cherub, a bunch of red and yellow feathers and some sparkly red plastic gemstones on a little rig on the end of a dowel rod. BAM! Instant revival photo-op.

veraca · « **Reply #1243 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:22:38 pm »

Since I'm going to stop at Jo-Anns on my way out of town for my hair ribbon I'm gonna buy a few fake flowers and be Roxas with a bouquet XDDD AND a keyblade.

Lotus: I'd suggest a sports bra, or some binding on your chest if you want to look more Link-y. But really it looks pretty awsome ^^ That's the only thing I can suggest.

Too bad I don't have any hot glue to make a quick flower pin for my Diva costume - that'd make an awsome "Hat" accessory for it XD hehe.

Oh yeeeeah? Well I got various juice boxes for Potions, Hi-Potions, and Ethers, Ramune for Elixirs if I can find a way to carry them without breaking them, carbonated candies for Antidotes, glowsticks for echo screens, marshmellow dealies/pictures of cute animals for Soft, eyedrops for Eyedrops, red feathers for Phoenix Down, aaaand various healthy vegetables/fruits for Gysahl Greens. Also random inventory. I'll show yooou! *shakes fist*

But really, dang you're awesome for all that work. Srsly.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1245 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:25:11 pm »

Don't forget the random Choco/Mog summon you'll be getting, Winfred! But you'd better not give it away. I'll need to mooch off your Phoenix Downs too, actually.

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #1246 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:26:44 pm »

Hey... that's an idea, actually. I could take a bunch of them and glue them to the hands of this little angel/cherub thingy I have and attach string to it's neck. Then, whenever I want, I could tie it to the Tiger Racket and hang it over someone. XD

Then find an Aerith... NOPE! Don't work on her. XD

Sure you can carry it all? Mine are all small and hand-made. ^^ Probably going to use fruit or peppercini for gysahl and have dried whole chili's for the dead peppers. XD
I want to mooch off your phoenix downs as well... a few red are more recognizable. I didn't have enough money or time to get any. T.T Trade for pinions? XD

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1247 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:30:25 pm »

What do Pinions do in comparison to Down? Is it like comparing Life1 to Life2? Revival with half HP and revival with full HP?

Eh, but if you save Aerith she'll never see Zack again or find the Promised Land! *Total sap*

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1248 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:31:22 pm »

That would be the best insult......but she will be on the same team with Aerith >_>

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1249 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:32:34 pm »

XD! Whoever goes against Aerith: AAGH! ZOMBIE! I SURRENDER!
