| WILL BE WEARING THE SATURDAY OF EXPO Most difficult cosplay I've done so far, by far Although part way through I'm loving the challenge and doing new techniques and hopefully it will turn out alright >< EDIT: I really enjoyed making this cosplay, due to all the details in it. I dunno why, complex cosplays are more fun for me to make it seems. Right going to wear this for Sat of Alcon 2012 hopefully the damage to the wig won't be too visable as the extension as been through a lot the poor thing ;-; Been meaning to rewear this for a while now so here goes | |

Journal

Alcon (Posted 4th September 2012) Unfortunately there's quite a bit of damage to the top of my straight extension to the wig from multiple wears and detangle sessions so instead it looks like I'll have to be inaccurate and wear my curly extension to Alcon instead especially due to the lack of notice and funds for this con |
|
Finally (Posted 23rd May 2011) Everything is tacked and ready, just need to machine sew it, nearly there now =D |
|
Progress (Posted 18th May 2011) Ok A lot has been done, I'm going to upload some progress pictures soon. I need a sewing machine so I dont have to wait til I go around Batshiz's to sew And I'll be starting the Obi one Friday, since I get paid then and currently I cant afford the fabric. I shall manage this .__. |
|
Hair piece (Posted 24th February 2011) Only cost me £2 so far :'D |
|
Wig (Posted 20th February 2011) After the last con this wig was extremely tangled. [one side looks shorter and wider than the other due to it resting on the t.v.] |
