Getting there! (Posted 21st May 2009)

I've had the fabric for the Dai-Gurren jacket cut and pinned for ages, Im making it for expo because i get really cold travelling, even though she doesn't have it with the long haired version :/ Never mind!! XD
Pink tops done! Needs an iron though

Finished Shoes! (Posted 11th May 2009)

They need a teenie touch up of gold round the red jem but are done! I varnished the shoes, makes them look nicer. Also need to paint the bases because it looks odd red :/

Skirt and Top progess (Posted 11th May 2009)

Just need to hem the skirt shorter and the top too. Maybe take it in mooore and possibly iron when im done.
The top was a bugger with the four seams BUT got there eventually 8D

Updates! (Posted 10th May 2009)

I didn't realise expo was so close ._. Woopsie! ^^;
Pink top dress thingy is fitted pinned and ready to be gunned through the machine! Shoes have been painted and varnished just need white bits and jems sticking on! Next up is the hair stuff, Ive made it from fimo, needs a good cook and paint then its done!
Jewellry and the likes need a touch up along the edges and then they're done. Its getting there. Im just a slow lazy child.

Finished Wig! (Posted 2nd May 2009)

I think its done, Im really happy with it ^o^ If people think it needs more blue I'll do it as I have dye left over, I love this wig <3
Flower's done too fo her hair!

Shoooes (Posted 2nd May 2009)

Are in progress painting because they arrived! 8D They were meant to be £30!! =o They look brand new aswell, looks like they've never been worn, and they are [moderately] easy to walk in, huzzah! A couple more layers of red and then some varnish then I can stick the jems to them! :3

HOMG SHOOOES! 8D (Posted 27th April 2009)

Oh yes, white skirt almost done! x3

P.S Pic of shoes stolen from ebay, not miine!

Painting + Pink Dress (Posted 15th April 2009)

Pink dress is alot more fitted, ive tacking stitched the zip in inside out so I can fit the seams as much as I want, then to unpick the zip and put it in the right way.

All craft foamy things have been sealed and I've started to paint them, the head flower is finished, the belt needs a few touch ups up the side (as do all the other craft foam things) But theyre pretty much done.

(Only the circle bits on the belt and flower are stuck down, the collar and braclets aren't, I just grabbed any i had going spair and lobbed them on for the photo)

Gluue + Hair straighteners (Posted 8th April 2009)

Decided to seal all my craft foam today before I go out so it gives it time to dry without me being impatient and poking it.
Did you know hair straighteners work perfectly for heating and bending craft foam? Ive used the stove but I always burn my foam and it gets too hot. >_< Hair dryer is too noisy and doesnt head it enough, but my GHDs worked perfectly =O Heated it enough so i could bend it and hold it without burning myself. Viva la Hairstraightener! 8D

Bling! (Posted 7th April 2009)

Finally dug out a mass of craft foam for the abiss which is my wardrobe. I measured cut and did all that shizz to the craft foam, then being a bit Grinchy proceeded to hack up Christmas Decs for the circle bits and whatnot. Heres a photo of everything cut out, ready to be glued and sealed then painted then adding stuff to stick it to me :D

P.S. I ran out of Dye AGAIN. I think its just drying out because I don't get much done with them before they run out...Let us hope the store has restocked!! >_<

P.P.S If I ever need to dye a wig again, PLEASE just say 'NO GO GET WEFTS INSTEAD!!' D:

P.P.P.S Please ignore Spongebob slipper in pic ;D

Top + Skirt Progress (Posted 5th April 2009)

So I finally got round to cutting out all my material needed, Ive managed to finally achieve in getting Nia's Pink top the accurate shape (Seams at the front and back but non at the side) It's just like 3 sizes too big ;-; So lots of taking in will follow!
White skirt has also been pinned, a zip needs to be added aswell as shortening the skirt and hemming it.

Im also having a hell of a time finding the right shoes, c'mon ebay dont fail me please T_T

Stubby Antenna (Posted 29th March 2009)

So I finished the antenna but its the wrong way round >.< Not sure if i should keep or get rid of ? Opinions would be good please D:

I feel like the colour bluuuue + Wig Wefts (Posted 29th March 2009)

Shop restocked with more dye, yaaay!! So I have been dying more blue, resulting in more blue fingers! Also I glued in a weft for the first time today, it's for Nia's antenna [As seen in the ref with wig pics]. I also made a start on her flower, it still needs more curling, and then it can be sealed and painted!. [The centre bit is just balanced on a pin for the pic, nothing is glued as of yet!]

Wig Dye (Posted 16th March 2009)

Ran out of dye, noo! Shop in which I buy my dye from has sold out the color Im using >_< They said they'll restock in 2 weeks! Until then I should start the actual costume!!!

Wig (Posted 24th January 2009)

My wig arrived the other week, I've just been lazy in taking progress shots, I figured I'd show it off before I do anything to destroy it! I wasn't to sure about the curls but I think they've grown on me. I have the blue dye I'll use ready to dye in the ends of bits. So here we go pictures before wig is styled!
[I've ordered two of these, one for this Nia and the other for short haired version]
