oh! btw! my new rei hino wig came in today... even though she also isnt going to kumori...

nyahaha · « **Reply #1201 on:** July 21, 2009, 10:11:04 am »

I'm going to joanns and the bead store (yet again) to get more supplies. I hope I finish everything in time. Once I get more done, I think I will tell my secret cosplay. It's hard to keep it in...

Huntress · « **Reply #1202 on:** July 21, 2009, 11:34:45 am »

Yay! My Elincia wig has just arrived! Still need some styling though...

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1203 on:** July 21, 2009, 11:40:21 am »

I love the color of it. It looks so beautiful

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1204 on:** July 21, 2009, 03:34:51 pm »

@Chihiro- Your Peach looks great! I like the red that you used for the sash thing. It brings out your costume a lot.

@Sutie- It looks really good so far. I want to see bigger pictures though :B

@Huntress- That's a really lovely color. Did you get it from Cosworx?

Huntress · « **Reply #1205 on:** July 21, 2009, 03:56:15 pm »

Thanks!

@boogie - I got it on ebay from a shop called easyshop. My first time trying them. The quality is great and the shipping was pretty quick.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1206 on:** July 21, 2009, 04:14:47 pm »

I got some supplies for a prop for my secret cosplay. And I scored at value village. I got both the shirts I need for Rumia, so now I just have to make her skirt, find shoes, make a tie, and a hair ribbon, then I'm done with her.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #1207 on:** July 21, 2009, 04:19:02 pm »

I'm attempting to style my Mai wig...And it's being evil, like usual...

Sutie · « **Reply #1208 on:** July 21, 2009, 05:05:39 pm »

*sigh* just got home from a JoAnn's trip. Dropped a little over fifty bucks for k-con cosplay stuff. Hopfully I won't need any more supplies for a while and what I have will keep me busy. Now, off to the sewing mechine!!! ...ops, after I make dinner....

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #1209 on:** July 21, 2009, 05:08:32 pm »

did another shoot today for my best friends Erika cosplay... *sigh* nothing going on tomorrow, and on friday-sat I have anotehr work shop to do

Sutie · « **Reply #1210 on:** July 21, 2009, 07:18:19 pm »

EEEP! Work Shop! That reminds me that I have a work shop class to teach soon....

shanime_panda · « **Reply #1211 on:** July 21, 2009, 07:33:51 pm »

@ xxxchihiroxxx
I hope you don't mind me asking, but if you used a hoop skirt for your dress, where did you get?
I need one for Kumoricon 2010, but I have no idea where to get one

Hidamari · « **Reply #1212 on:** July 21, 2009, 08:34:01 pm »

I'm plannig to get started on my commisions tonight so i can get started on MY costumes soon xD

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1213 on:** July 21, 2009, 09:21:27 pm »

AGH.

I got my gloves for Deke. I got my new wig for said cosplay as well. I got my new Organization boots.

D: somehow my mother was signed into eBay on my computer and the stuff I needed to get there was recorded as her buy, so it wouldn't let me use the card I was using because it wasn't registered on her account. Grrrrrrrr, that's my epic perfect Deke boots and my gloves for Maria!

askldjfhkldsajfh I'll have to figure it out tomorrow.

Sutie · « **Reply #1214 on:** July 22, 2009, 09:38:07 am »

Worked on prop stuff last night. I do need some help/suggestions for the round parts of the key (on the "staff" part)... Please! ^^

Here's a referance picture:

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #1215 on:** July 22, 2009, 10:15:33 am »

why not get thouse giant wooden beads and paint them, or maybe even model magic

nyahaha · « **Reply #1216 on:** July 22, 2009, 10:33:27 am »

At joanns, they should have styrophome spheres that you could bore holes into.

veraca · « **Reply #1217 on:** July 22, 2009, 10:54:10 am »

Styrofoam might work better, since it's lighter. Cover it in glue first after shaping it and then hot glue it on and then paint =3

I *should* have restyled my Soul wig, but instead I decided to mess with my red wig of doom and made it into Daisuke's. I haven't worn the costume in two years, so I might wear him this year since I have a wig =3

nyahaha · « **Reply #1218 on:** July 22, 2009, 11:04:20 am »

Daisuke from D.N.Angel?

Does anyone know where I could buy copper sheet metal? preferably not online. I don't know what thickness to get for red xiii's bracelets and anklets...

If not JoAnn's, they do have them at Michael's. That's where I bought some for my Azul cannon last year.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1220 on:** July 22, 2009, 11:06:20 am »

Thank you! I will have to get my mom to take me this weekend

veraca · « **Reply #1221 on:** July 22, 2009, 11:08:21 am »

Styrofoam - you could find at the Dollar Store

Metal - check a hardware store perhaps?

Yeah, DNAngel Daisuke

nyahaha · « **Reply #1222 on:** July 22, 2009, 11:09:07 am »

I love him! I've been wanting to cosplay as Dark for a while now...maybe I will next year

veraca · « **Reply #1223 on:** July 22, 2009, 11:10:27 am »

My friend's got the Dark costume, but not the wig. She made it to go with mine for Kumori07, since I was only going a day but she couldn't come so her costume's just collecting dust.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1224 on:** July 22, 2009, 11:14:54 am »

aww that's sad...

How should I go about cutting the sheet metal?

veraca · « **Reply #1225 on:** July 22, 2009, 11:17:53 am »

If it isn't REALLY thick, you might be able to cut it with scissors, or a good sharp knife. You'd wanna somehow round the edges (sanding ? or melt over a flame) so you don't get cut though.

Classy Viking · « **Reply #1226 on:** July 22, 2009, 11:18:46 am »

I'm nearly done with my Lupin, I just need a yellow tie. Which, for some odd reason, impossible to locate in this city. Anyone know of a place without me going online yet?

veraca · « **Reply #1227 on:** July 22, 2009, 11:27:19 am »

.....Buy a white tie and dye it? ^^; I have no idea. A pure yellow... is almost impossible...

Classy Viking · « **Reply #1228 on:** July 22, 2009, 11:30:03 am »

As I have found out. Thanks though.

thank you! It shouldn't be too thick, so I can try scissors.

Chibiorochimaru · « **Reply #1230 on:** July 22, 2009, 12:04:50 pm »

ties are pretty easy to make ^___^ I would so make ya one r.r but that would be a bit late to recive....sense I can't send stuff. sorry o-o

Classy Viking · « **Reply #1231 on:** July 22, 2009, 12:06:43 pm »

It's cool. Thanks for the offer though.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1232 on:** July 22, 2009, 12:06:52 pm »

eBay is your friend and master.

Just make sure you're not signed in as someone else before you buy. Grrrrrrrrr.

thank-you! i thought they were just slips to go OVER a hoop skirt XD
I feel silly now, but thank-you sooo much!
Now I just need a black petticoat

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1238 on:** July 22, 2009, 04:55:01 pm »

I never knew how ladies got such big skirts...

but now I do!

Mei Long · « **Reply #1239 on:** July 22, 2009, 05:00:42 pm »

Oh my gosh it's so hot. XD *just biked to school and Joanns and back*

But! I got scuuuulpy which will; with the assistance of tinfoil, hot glue, paint, and barrets; allow me to create Bulbasaur's little ears! I don't think "saurs" had cat shaped ears but hey, it's cute, so I'm not complaining. XD And I'm incredibly amused that they look akin to the little clip things on top of the Eva pilot's heads... if they have an actual name it escapes me at this moment.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1240 on:** July 22, 2009, 07:40:13 pm »

Not really progress but I went to Albertson's and they were selling Rit Dye for 25 cents on the "This needs to be gone now!" shelf.
I got two bottles of liquid yellow, one bottle of liquid wine, one bottle of cocoa brown, and five boxes of tan.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, but I have it!

Mei Long · « **Reply #1241 on:** July 22, 2009, 08:23:04 pm »

Darn it! Why did our Albertson's have to close?!?! DX NE Salem's Albertson's closed my senior year of high school and I have never seen so many dudes all sad for the same reason - there was a small tradition of a bunch of the band guys going to Albertson's, getting chicken and jojos, then bringing it back to make the entire upstairs band room smell of the stuff (yuuuuum, I miss it) while playing video games.

But the irony of this is I bought Rit Dye as well. XD But it was at Joanns and it was 50% off, so it was about a dollar 14.

25 cents sounds awesome though!!!

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #1242 on:** July 22, 2009, 08:52:43 pm »

i finished my ash blazer!v just need to make the gloves, get the pants, paint the shoes, and get mah pokebaLL, then i'm done with ash, oh and the wig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1243 on:** July 22, 2009, 09:06:32 pm »

Well, Lenalee is officially finally finished. Deke is one step closer to completion. All the parts for Demyx are coming.

Maria...

Let's not talk about that, shall we?

lychee-twist · « **Reply #1244 on:** July 22, 2009, 10:37:31 pm »

Hang in there! Daunting things are amazing when they're done!

On my end, I'm really disliking basting tape. It's fun to do a cosplay that's just so out there. I have yet to make the 6" geta for the Medicine Seller. I'll need to practice walking in those before I go to the con.
I can't believe I have a secret cosplay myself ><; That's so weird. I never thought I'd do that. Not that its exciting.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1245 on:** July 23, 2009, 08:25:28 am »

I am almost done with red xiii's pants. I just need to sew the elastic in the leg, and draw the designs on the legs with fabric marker. Does he have the design on both legs? oh, and what about his arms? are they on both?
I'm also gonna expiriment with paws, so I may get yet another part of red xiii done today. I think he should be done by next week 8D

veraca · « **Reply #1246 on:** July 23, 2009, 12:33:13 pm »

I figured since I'm gonna be doing Soul again, I want his wig to look muuuuch better than it did at Sakura con x_x Thank god after the last time I styled it I got it untangled and I don't need to wash it again *thanks Shinigami-sama*

*trim trim, cut cut, glue spray, trim trim, moves hair pile, trim trim....*

@.@

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #1247 on:** July 23, 2009, 02:23:05 pm »

I'm going to the new GoodWill on Ceaderhills. I'm excited! I'll hopefully get all my cosplay stuff tonight~

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1248 on:** July 23, 2009, 03:44:30 pm »

I'm thinking about throwing another cosplay to my list for con day 0.
Noodle, from the band Gorillaz, in the outfit she wears in the ~~Feel Good Inc. and~~ El Manana music videos.
If I don't do it for K-con though, I'll do it sometime this year. All that really needs to be done to make that costume is BUY THINGS.

Decisions, decisions though.

veraca · « **Reply #1249 on:** July 23, 2009, 04:29:09 pm »

Buying things is good... I have to buy dark blue jeans & yellow fabric paint =3 The rest of my works don't need buyings.

I've got several projects right now involving my costumes =3
#1 Keyblade (still in wood carving/sanding phase)
#2 Finish styling Soul's wig (98% done)
#3 Get together a casual Soul
#4 Make Penguin's jacket again (red version)
#5 Finish the tiny lolita top hat (50% done)
