YAY DYE IS HERE (Posted 12th May 2010) As the title says, i have recieved my dye at last :3 I will be dyeing my trousers this weekend then Yahoo! |
|
Swords Part 2 (Posted 10th May 2010) Here i have spray painted the tsubas gold and have half painted the swords... this is what they look like together at the moment |
|
Swords Part 1 (Posted 10th May 2010) Here i have have cut 3 swords out of some wood using a jig saw. I then sanded down the shapes and rounded off any sharp edges. I have now put a white undercoat of paint on the swords and tsubas.... now for them to dry! |
|
Wig (Posted 10th May 2010) Yay, I have a wig now :D all i need to do is get someone to wear it whilst i cut it hehehe |
|
Sheaths (Posted 10th May 2010) These are made from the stuff that tidy up cables around the house, you know the plastic stuff. I cut 3 tubes 70cm long and then made fabric sleaves for them to go in. I just need to add the details to them now.. yay! |
|
My Trousers (Un-Dyed) (Posted 14th April 2010) I have made trousers from scratch lol. I used white cotton so I could dye it and i used my jeans as an outline. They will stay up by using elastic as I'm not very handy with sewing zips TwT. I'm just waiting for the dye to arrive now :D |
