2nd September 2011: Bead Making I'm using white and terracotta air drying clay to make the larger more (stupidly) shaped beads and loo roll balls dipped in 50/50 pva glue and water mixture to make the angled white beas she has ALL OVER. It's pretty damn easy (and cheap!)
The white clay is for the stuff that's already white and the terracotta is for the darker coloured things to ensure they have a darker tone with less layers of paint so that I can save paint!
This shit is so fun, so much mess 8D
5th July 2011: White Bangles I found a cheapo pair of white silicone bands for Vanille's white bangles. Cheepycheepcheep :P
27th June 2011: Buttcape Progress TADAAAAAAAAA
Needs trimming, lining and the holster putting on the back. But YAAAAY ruffles 8D
26th June 2011: Necklace Test So I decided to test out whether I should use beads for the third necklace by messing with my little sister's bead set xD As lovely as it it, the beads keep moving out of place, so I'll be taking a different approach . . .
Dunno what though xD
26th June 2011: BOOTS Daaaaym, am I lucky with charity shops. Got these smexy buggers for 4.99. They were a little big, so I popped into poundland and bought some insoles and duct tape to pad out the inside and pull in the outside. The heel's a little bigger than Vanille's, which'll make my legs appear longer at least xD
All I need to do now is make the boot covers and fur toppers ^^
LUCKY LUCKY MEEE
24th June 2011: BANGLES hehehehehe
I found the most perfect bangles in a charity shop, which included copper, blue and gold! JACKPOT! It did also have some green and purple ones, but I spray painted them silver.
All I need to do now is buy 2 more copper bangles and 2 more silver bangles for the correct number of metal ones and then get the two thicker white ones :3
Because I'm a perfectionist.
18th June 2011: THE WIG HAS ARRIVED 8DDDD OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD IT'S MY FAVOURITE WIG EVER!!!!!!! I NEVER WANNA TAKE IT OFF!!!
I will be styling it a little, but OH MY FREAKING GOD, IT'S AWESOME!!!!
[/fangasm]
13th June 2011: THE FUR HAS ARRIVED And it's so lovely and soft. It's a mixture of fibers to look like real fur, like Vanille's buttcape.
13th June 2011: Maybe not then... My perfectionist side is kicking into gear with the skirt tutorial >.< on closer inspection of the references, it seems the second layer of the skirt is not attached to the waist band and literally appears to be wrapped lengthways around the bottom layer. And this is more than bugging me OTL
Back to the 'how the frick do I do this?" stage. >.<
11th June 2011: Buttcape Stuff ordered :3 Right, so I ordered some long pile fake fur for her buttcape and some suede to line it with. I've also got some lighter suede for her belt, bag and backplate :3 I am currently looking for some suede cord and rubber tubing for the belt and necklaces. Oh how funnn
10th June 2011: Wig Ordered Yaaaaaay! ^_^
(my poor bank balance)
10th June 2011: BEADS I have made a very clever and cost effective but extremely time consuming decision:
I'm making the beads. Out of loo roll. And then painting them.
Yeah.
9th June 2011: Skirt Plans Saw this picture on osplay.com and it's PERFECT for me :3 I've been wondering how to do this for a while xD
