I ordered the buns for Arda in two different colors, and a 40" base wig from Ebay. (I needed the length). I also ordered my Hoop Skirt and my Boots!
Today I modified a toy gun that I bought for Yoko Littner into BackLace for Panty. It turned out really well I think. It's my first prop work so I'm proud of it~

I got my Mokona wig in the mail today~ Oh my gosh, it's gorgeous, I wish my real hair was this pretty. Arda is definitely my new favorite wig company. Mokona's about done, I just need to finish sewing her (its?) ears.

I also got lots of stuff from Goodwill, including shoes for Mokona, Medic and Sailor Uranus, and most of the stuff I need for Medic aside from the jacket. And I got a shirt for Susan, I just need to take the sleeves up and cut her wig and she'll be done.

Haven't gotten much done for Kumori progress...

I cut and styled Yuna's ffx-2 wig, got Simon's wig done already. I also have cut the red fabric for simon's sash, though I just realized the fabric's too soft... But I'll replace that later. I just need to hem the edges of the red fabric.

I probably won't get to the shoes or the pants in time.. ( since to match the trim of my jacket to the pants, the jacket for some reason has gold trim, not yellow... )

I also have the pants ready to be mailed off to a friend for Roxas. That's bout it.

EEEEEEPPPP! >w< i just got my Haruhi RPG outfit *spazzes*

the only thing that needs fixing is i need to sew on the bow to the outfit (cuz it's a pin on), unsew the sleeves from the top so they actually sag down, shorten the red badge, insert a bra into the top (and shorten its width cuz it's too big for my chest) and find my brown boots, cuz i can't find them T^T and if i can't find them, i might have to buy new ones... after all these years of having the perfect ones too

ohoh and i have to make her sword >3> will figure that out soon.

Diamond Crevasse Sheryl stuff! I just need to add some padding to the inside of the crown so it sits a bit higher on my head (And maybe MOAR SPARKLES but I dunno) but my shoes and gloves are all done. Nobody is even going to see my shoes but I figured I may as well make them match my gloves.

My next cosplay I am planing on doing is Askua's plug suit and last night I decided I am going to buy a cat suit and do the rest my self (I was planing on buying a premade plug suit and altering the armor to look more like armor rather than cloth) so I started on the batter pack today (which I am going to turn into a backpack so I can store stuff. I got it all cut out and glued together and so far it looks really really good.

Worst case, if I don't end up doing the plug suit I will have this awesome back pack 8D

Or if I ever get $6,000+ I am going to buy this suit *.*

Worked on Sheryl's gown a bit today. Got the top part of the first two layers of organza and chiffon ruffled, but I still have to do the second two layers of organza and put them all together.

And then hem them.

And then actually make the dress they're going over.

At least once this is done I can focus on Loki.

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #2065 on:** July 19, 2011, 07:30:28 pm »

I found a dress for Gaz today. i feel...meh about it. it came from goodwill so i'm not too worried about finding a better dress/making my own if the opportunity arises. I also plan on making Gaz's necklace tomorrow if i can get the materials from my friend.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #2066 on:** July 19, 2011, 08:15:25 pm »

I got my wig for Asuka. I love it. It is a beautiful redbrown, redblond, and blond highlights. There is three colors in the wig. Sure it isn't very accurate but I still love the way it looks.

Ritsu-chan · « **Reply #2067 on:** July 19, 2011, 10:07:55 pm »

I went on there for kicks once. The stories are all true. I have a pretty strong stomach and it's diffuclt to offend me, so I wasn't too bothered, but...not for the faint of heart.

I painted the boots for Uranus. It went a lot better than I thought it would, they're now almost exactly the right shade of blue. The shape is a little off, but they were the best I could find and they're pretty close. Her boots are pretty weird, so I doubt I'll ever find a perfect match.

4chan is a fun place! It gives me a warm feeling in my soul!

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #2078 on:** July 20, 2011, 01:42:29 pm »

Then your soul must be a terrifying place. But it is entertaining, I'll give you that.

Fiiiinally figured out how I'm going to attach the ears to the headbands for Mokona. It just needs to dry for a bit, so I'll probably be able to take some pictures of that costume completed on Friday or Saturday. I've started hemming up the shirt I got for Susan, so then it's just cutting a wig for her and I'm doooone. So that's two pretty much done, and I'm thinking of maybe dropping Medic because the rest of my group are kind of not doing anything on their TF2 cosplays. Soooo if I do drop that, all I've got left is Uranus. I'm hoping to get this all done by mid-August, which gives me some time to relax before con and work on other, non-cosplay stuff.

I have the top four layers of my Sheryl dress assembled, but I tried it on and it make me look really... rotund.

I knew strapless dresses made me look like this when I started but I'm considering not finishing it now :\

luvan1me · « **Reply #2088 on:** July 20, 2011, 08:22:46 pm »

So, I'll be having a different tailor for my Sailor Neptune cosplay; she also said that she'd look for a water kettle for a possible Ranma revival cosplay. I'm also thinking about asking her to adjust my Mikuru bunny girl cosplay, so I can bring her back, too (and use that wig I bought for my Lina cosplay that'll have to wait for '12)...

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #2093 on:** July 21, 2011, 07:58:31 am »

My time on the forums has been scarce. What I have done in the last 2 weeks or so.

-Dropped Lammy, gonna be cosplaying Anaru from AnoHana instead now.
-Just need to paint some words on my shirt for my Day 0 cosplay and it's done.
-Finished fixing Nino up.
-Got a shirt, shoes and socks for Anaru. Crafted a belt for it as well with my sweet leather skills (I work for Tandy Leather Factory now

). Also dyed a scrunchie for it and made an extra barrett.
-Drew the tattoo for B.Jenet, added rivits to my shoes, and I'm working on cutting down and cutting the fingers on the gloves and handstitching the hem down.

And that's....it! The plans for the rest of the week are buy a pattern for B.Jenets dress, style my Anaru wig, rub and buff/spraypaint my B.Jenet bracelets, and start my pleated skirt for Anaru.

My progress is amazing...
I just figured out which cosplays are now being done, since my avatar the last airbender one fell though.
Naoto from persona- pre reg
Ion fortuna from trinity blood
Mugen from Samurai Champloo
Hanna from hanna is not a boys name
8D the list is complete, construction will begin shortly.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #2099 on:** July 21, 2011, 11:54:47 pm »

So I started work on my remake of Sasuko's lower half.
I got interrupted a lot so I only finished one leg of her pants but progress is progress. XP
Tomorrow I will hopefully get at least the other leg finished and *crosses my fingers* sew them together. I hate interruptions. :/
