My hand didn't stop burning till 3 in the morning. I kept waking up to pain. It wasn't a fun night. But I don't feel too much now, only when I move that area a lot stretching it out.

Yikes, I hope you feel better soon.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #801 on:** August 14, 2008, 09:12:35 am »

Thanks for the love

I feel much better this morning. Yesterday was just a bad day for me. I was very stressed and I got hurt a few times during my soccer games, nothing too serious but it was really getting on my nerves. I was being ganged up on >_<

Psh, bad soccer tactics....*kicks air in their general direction*
Glad today is going better (so far).

nikkiolie · « **Reply #803 on:** August 14, 2008, 09:42:53 am »

Yup yup yup. I got most of the parts I need traced out and ready to be cut. The ones that are traced don't have to be shaped either so that makes me happy. The hardest thing is going to be the finger ring thingies. I am so not looking forward to those.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #804 on:** August 14, 2008, 09:56:44 am »

Well, it may be weird if there are two different thicknesses of plastic on your gloves, but I can bring some of my leftover plastic sheeting which is just .020" if you want to try using that for the rings. It would probably bend and roll easier.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #805 on:** August 14, 2008, 09:59:15 am »

That would be great. I wouldn't need a whole lot ^_^

In return you can use some of mine, I have lots

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #806 on:** August 14, 2008, 10:02:47 am »

Okay. ^_^ It's a deal, heh.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #807 on:** August 14, 2008, 10:28:20 am »

The sad news is that it look like I have to go get more glove to dye because the glue isn't coming off. That will be something I do tomorrow.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #808 on:** August 14, 2008, 10:29:57 am »

Oh, thatr's a bummer. At least you're getting it all sorted now and not later.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #809 on:** August 14, 2008, 10:47:14 am »

yeah my mom is going in that area so she is going to pick up the gloves then ^_^

nyahaha · « **Reply #810 on:** August 14, 2008, 12:07:51 pm »

Teasel · « **Reply #812 on:** August 14, 2008, 12:26:35 pm »

YES! I got a helmet! I just need to paint it, then get a grey t-shirt, and make a mustache, and then I've finished my Wario cosplay!

nyahaha · « **Reply #813 on:** August 14, 2008, 02:05:08 pm »

i wish i could pull all nighters... but my parents wont let me

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #814 on:** August 14, 2008, 05:24:31 pm »

I made a prototype of the front of the suspenders. Hurrah! Now to figure out the back.

I'm a bit concerned about cutting on the holes. Maybe I'll hand sew around those just in case.

To do:
- Make pattern for back of suspenders.
- Complete suspenders prototype.
- Make actual ones with the pleather. (note: research pleather)
- Buy a ruler with circles?
- Sharpie black lines onto pants.
- Find proper black combat boots.

Wigs should arrive tomorrow...!!! Ahhh

Third Cosplay
-I don't even know what I'm doing! I'm such a procrastinating mess!

Sugarlat · « **Reply #818 on:** August 14, 2008, 11:00:29 pm »

I need more twill tape to finish Miyuki.
The skirt i shortened and added the first ribbon.
The shirt is almost finished. I need to add interfacing to the collar, add the lines on the sleeves and close it up.

Bathing suit hunny:
Skin colored shirt
Pink innertube
swimming trunks

I'm pretty sure i can get all these finished but I think I wanna make Hunny a pink Kimono o-o
Think i can do that and add the patch on the uniform in a meer 15 days?!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #819 on:** August 14, 2008, 11:19:55 pm »

Alright alright. So today I got a lot accomplished. I completely remade Albel's claw and it looks so much better. I will mark him as being 100% complete. As for Temari I scheduled my last hair appointment for this Saturday so my hair will be the right color and I would put that costume at 99% complete. ^_^

I am ready for the con.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #820 on:** August 15, 2008, 05:49:34 am »

My Azul Cannon is...hmmm....I'd say about 80% finished, and the cannon is probably about half of my costume, so my total costume is....hmm...I'm not good at math, lol. I'll just say my costume is a good 60% done, heh.

myalchod · « **Reply #821 on:** August 15, 2008, 07:40:19 am »

Failing at time this week. T_T Stupid work, rendering me dead tired ALL WEEK LONG to the point that I don't want to move when I get home. (On the other hand, my paycheque will be awesome with overtime.)

So I have been failing at working on my Kcon projects, though I did get two decades done on my first rosary for Toribla stuff.

nyahaha · « **Reply #822 on:** August 15, 2008, 07:47:24 am »

Misha: buy wig

Rikku:hair feathers, goggles, left green arm band, left glove, right glove, belt, shirt, shorts(im doing that today), right shoe(im finishing that today, and yes i did do the left shoe slready)

Tsukasa: wig arrival, shirt, finish skirt (i need the zipper. i lost the other one), buy socks, buy shoes

nikkiolie · « **Reply #823 on:** August 15, 2008, 09:47:03 am »

I love Rikku, is it Xor X2 rikku? I would much rather do X. That might be something I work on for Sakuracon or Kumoricon next year.

nyahaha · « **Reply #824 on:** August 15, 2008, 11:39:50 am »

its X rikku

Yay! I love Rikku. ^_^ Are you going to the Final Fantasy Photo Shoot, by chance?

nyahaha · « **Reply #826 on:** August 15, 2008, 11:46:48 am »

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #827 on:** August 15, 2008, 11:47:41 am »

Ah, well, if you do finish it, the photo shoot is Sunday at 2:00pm in the Park.

nyahaha · « **Reply #828 on:** August 15, 2008, 11:48:04 am »

ill try!! than u

nikkiolie · « **Reply #829 on:** August 15, 2008, 11:52:56 am »

I would love to see it. I hope you do finish it.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #830 on:** August 15, 2008, 12:03:10 pm »

I need to find a Kimono pattern...
I bought one not to long ago but now I can't find it XDD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #831 on:** August 15, 2008, 12:20:53 pm »

that sucks....they might have one at joann's

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #832 on:** August 15, 2008, 12:23:34 pm »

They do. I was just there a couple days ago and saw they had quite a few kimono patterns in different books and companies and what-not.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #833 on:** August 15, 2008, 12:30:59 pm »

so that problem is solved.... but patterns can be very very expensive

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #834 on:** August 15, 2008, 12:35:35 pm »

Yeah, it depends on the company some times. You could get lucky and find a pattern for $3 or have to shell out more and buy one for $15.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #835 on:** August 15, 2008, 12:38:49 pm »

I think my mom was looking at one and it was very expensive, like $20 or so...

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #836 on:** August 15, 2008, 12:40:43 pm »

Eesh, yeah I don't think I'd spend that much on a pattern. Mainly because I don't know how to use them and don't sew.....so it really is not something I could see myself even needing, lol. Once I start sewing though, I'm sure I would start needing them.

You can look up instructions online! Are you making a Kimono or Yukata? Kimono are more tricky (because of linings and what not, as far as I understand), but Yukata are easy-peasy!! Its basically just a whole bunch of rectanges!
Here are a few sites

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Troy/5187/kimono.html
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~weyrbrat/Japan/yukata/index.html

And this one becuase it helped me understand the basic ratio's of how it should fit (being as tall as you, being able to wrap all the way around you, etc.) when I made one!

nyahaha · « **Reply #838 on:** August 15, 2008, 02:01:06 pm »

im halfway done with my other rikku shoe!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #839 on:** August 15, 2008, 02:26:15 pm »

yay get those shoes done so you can be Rikku ^_^

veraca · « **Reply #840 on:** August 15, 2008, 03:11:11 pm »

No wig still. The guy at the post office to check for it on Tuesday ><;

In the meantime.... I got a picture of Aqua's non armor costume, so I'm making that. The shirt won't be perfect cause it's haard x_x Well it should be fine really. Either way -I'll show up hahaha!

Yuna costume's all done, so's Diva. I just have to figure out what shoes to wear for Diva's. Then the rest is just waiting for the convention it self~

nikkiolie · « **Reply #841 on:** August 15, 2008, 03:22:48 pm »

I'm still waiting on my wig. It didn't come today.....it should be here no latter than Thursday

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #842 on:** August 15, 2008, 03:24:41 pm »

I, too, am still waiting on a wig, although mine probably won't be getting here until the week of Kumoricon.

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #843 on:** August 15, 2008, 06:14:21 pm »

My wigs came today! I'm only using one, but!

^ I look blehhh

I'm tempted to cut the bangs but I'm not sure if its worth the risk...

misamisa · « **Reply #844 on:** August 15, 2008, 06:55:00 pm »

my wigs arrived today!!

I made no progress as far as costumes go so far today, I just tried on my wigs and "ooohed" and "aaahed." I LIKE THEM. XD

totemo_oishii, I like your wig!

Hope everyone else waiting on their wigs gets them soon!
I'm going to order some shoes now.

nyahaha · « **Reply #845 on:** August 15, 2008, 07:02:34 pm »

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #846 on:** August 15, 2008, 07:06:29 pm »

Thanks! This is the first time I've ordered from Amphigory and I like them.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #847 on:** August 15, 2008, 07:13:54 pm »

Hot damn! I did things today and many gifts arrived~
Everything I've ordered came in today and we went on a journey to a Joann's...that we found out closed six years ago. Curse you Google Maps and your lies.

Artwork Bridget- Well we decided that the problem was that the legs were too big so we took them in.
I've got everything done and received so I'M OFFICIALLY DONE WITH THAT.

Miria Harvent-
*Dress-60%
*Hem Gloves

Legretta-
*Wig Styled
*Gun #1-70%
*Gun #2-50%
*Horseshoe thing- 80%
*Hem, take in, and add bits to skirt
*Take sleeves off of shirt
*Tights-0%
*Glove-0%

I'm getting there slowly. Also I'm dying from the heat. Save me.

veraca · « **Reply #848 on:** August 15, 2008, 11:01:48 pm »

You lucky brats and your wigs arriving~

Oh well, props to you. Now if only ours could get here...

* working on make shift - last minute thought - Aqua costume
* finished with all other costumes

oslapedo · « **Reply #849 on:** August 15, 2008, 11:07:04 pm »

If it makes you feel any better my wig will probably arrive the day before the con, or something ridiculous like that T_T Curse my procrastination!
